But in choosing in a given context you can't PROVE that what you did was right- your choice will also always be ambiguous. For example, you see a hungry child and you have no money, so you steal a loaf of bread to feed the child. Did you do right by protecting the child or do wrong by stealing the bread? What if the child was Jesus come to save the world (you know what I mean) and he would have died but for the bread, OR what if the person you stole from was on the verge of bankruptcy and the fact that you stole his bread pushed him over the edge and made him bankrupt and started a slide to poverty that eventually killed him AND his whole family? Anyway, I don't see any real rules that work all the time. I picked the rules that I was comfortable with and I try to use them- but I can't defend in any absolute sense.
