From a metaethical point of view, I look at language and deem that it makes sense to say that what people are talking about is things that cause suffering. To me, "truth" is what corresponds with existence. And suffering exists. So the question is, when somebody says "X is wrong" is it reasonable to conclude that they mean that "X causes suffering."?
