Of course, most of the time you can't prove that what you did was right. But does it matter? If you continue to "feel good" about what you did, you probably did the right thing, but this is not something that is subject to rational proof.

I submit that it doesn't even matter whether one believes, in theory, that values are absolute or totally relative; whether they spring from divine law, natural law, simple custom, or whatever.

In practice, we are all faced with ethical ambiguities in many of the situations we face; and we all have to try to do the best we can to sort it out, and hope that practice (in ethical decision-making) may make perfect -- or near-perfect, anyway. :-)

I have the impression that I burst into an argument that was proceeding along different lines. I don't see any real difference between the position you state and mine.
