    I’VE NEVER BEEN VERY SURE ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT, said Bill Door. I AM NOT SURE THERE IS SUCH A THING AS RIGHT. OR WRONG. JUST PLACES TO STAND

    Reaper Man - Terry Pratchett

    I actually don’t agree with this sentiment, but this is now a Discworld thread, and I can’t stop it

      What is right for the spider is wrong for the fly.

      Right/Wrong is subjective and entirely depends on the surrounding circumstances of those involved and how the action in question affects their interests.

      Well, it means there’s no objective right or wrong without context. And we people are the context, so while there’s no right or wrong, no magical karma system that would judge your actions, there are things that are very obviously right or wrong from the point of view of other people.
