That's true. Good thing we have laws and a penal system.
There's No Such Thing As Right and Wrong

It's all subjective
Wrong. There is a clear right and wrong. If you think that a society where people help and elevate one another then imagine a society where every single person is cutthroat and destructive towards one another you begin to see that there is a clear right and wrong. If the first instinct of leaders who engaged in war was to destroy entire countries, the human race would be on the brink of nothing and the planet would be reduced to filth.
The flip side. Living in a world where the first instinct is to help your neighbor and incite change that benefits humanity as a whole and maintains order in peace would be considered good.
If i slap your mother in the face in front of you and i tell you that me slapping her being wrong is subjective so you should not try to retaliate, you would not want to hear that. You would instantly acknowledge me hurting someone you love as wrong and react accordingly. If i gave your mother 10 million dollars you would see what i did as good and praise me for helping your family. Lets not make up these lies so we can indulge in filth that destroys our character. When you're wrong you know you're wrong. Its just hard to admit that you're lost.
I feel you with the examples, but that still doesn't change the fact that right and wrong depends on a individuals view. For example, human sacrifice is considered taboo, but was once an accepted practice. Plenty of things that are "right" over here, but would be considered "wrong" somewhere, like say, a Middle Eastern country, and visa versa. Thta's why I say it's no such thing as right and wrong, only YOUR version of right and wrong.
