Right and wrong is a human idea that has been used to justify every single action we take. The idea of being correct or right is completely in the eye of the beholder. If you sincerely believe something is right or wrong in your heart, then it is undoubtedly the only “right” action for you.

This shows that morality created by humans, cannot bypass any other humans unique individual moralities. A broad definition defined by the law or the majority cannot speak for everybody. Because of the equality of all human ideas, there is no one victor, thus the only true righteousness is the one you as an individual have created
