By doing less of something wrong means you are doing something right however the wrong remains wrong. There is no degree of right and wrong. Something is either right or wrong.

If a mind could know the difference between the true right and the right for show, and doing less of a wrong is a choice to the right, is that person traveling to the right?

No, it doesn't make it more right.
However, if a person has been doing a lot of wrong things, by doing less will only make him or her feeling less guilty.

No, if something is wrong, it's wrong. Then again, being right or wrong is just an opinion so nothing is right or wrong. Being right or wrong isn't a scale like light and dark.

there is alot you could say of this, the first answer says "Turn to math for an example. -4 is less than -11, but it's still a negative and not a positive." thats right in a sense because -4 is more POSITIVE than -11 but yes its still negative. but they said no, which they just proved it was right. lol.
but each situation is its own and will affect the surroundings accordingly.

No. Turn to math for an example. -4 is less than -11, but it's still a negative and not a positive.

No it doesn't,but it certainly makes us feel better.People never like to be in the wrong,and it feels good to be praised for something you have done right.

In categorizing something as right and wrong, you deny yourself possible choices and options. In answer to your question, it is neither more right or more wrong.

well good and bad are not moral absolutes that work inversely to each other
whether you do something ,perceived by others, good or bad it is just something done.
as to how others perceive this is not part of the question but just know that when a deed (good or bad as it may seem) is done in private without others knowledge it can escape the scrutiny of moral judgment(impairment whichever way you prefer to see it)
good q

no, but it makes it less wrong.
wrong is wrong , a lesser degree of wrong is just a lesser degree of wrong and doesn't translate to being even just alittle right.
for example Hitler caused millions of people to suffer and die, so it's alright to kill a single person because compared hitler, what i do is just such a little thing!!
think on it!!!!
God bless,
