What if?

The other day while I was listening to Coldplay's song entitle "What if?" I was struck by one of their opening lines. "What if there was no light, nothing wrong, nothing right…what if there was not time and no reason…" I know, it's heavy stuff even for Coldplay. So I got to thinking particularly about the part about there being nothing wrong and nothing right. It reminded me of the book "1984" by George Orwell. He depicts a totalitarian government that wages wars against itself and watches everyone all the time, and eradicates anyone who dares to be different. You might have heard of the phrase, "big brother is watching you." In this society, the cameras constantly monitored every aspect of one's life to keep one from committing thought crime. Thought crime was the act of thinking anything negative or different from what the government wanted everyone to think. In the book the main character, tries to explain how society has changed because of big brother and thought crime. He says that there is no right or wrong in this society because there are no laws. Everything was right, but thought crime would get you killed. There was no choice. You either obeyed big brother or you died. So I think that Coldplay were talking about wrong and right in terms of morals. If these morals didn't exists then government could create its own idea of right and wrong and become totalitarian. Which In turn leads to lack of choice. So if there was nothing wrong and nothing right, there would be no choice at all in anything. No individuals, only a society like the matrix could exist whose whole existence it completely fabricated.
