here are good choices and bad choices, and which is which really depends upon the situation and the individual involved.
So true--I always tend to think of actions as neutral and circumstances providing the moral aspect. Some actions can't be made "good" by any context, or at least not by any context you're going to find in real life. And sometimes I think the right choice might involve doing something that's wrong to some extent to avert a greater wrong or for a greater good or whatever. Whenever someone starts talking about how something is always wrong my mind starts creating situations where it wouldn't be.
