Many people want (and even think they need) stark black-and-white categorizations of what is wrong and/or right (giving them a clear "sense of mission"), and have trouble dealing with situations that don't lend well to such clear absolutes (even keeping them up at night).
Sometimes the right thing to do isn't simply the Absolute Right Thing, but something that's perhaps a bit more "good" than "right".
The actual right thing to do may depend on circumstances and your relation to the issue at hand (gravity and distance), which affect your perspective of and effect on the situation (i.e., the "light" the helps define your "right").
