All decisions in life can be proved to be "right" and also "wrong" (unethical/ bad) depending upon the circumstances and the person involved.
Is there anything in this life that is absolutely correct (right/ ethical) i.e. which can be considered correct irrespective of time, conditions, etc.
It becomes really difficult at times to take the "right" decision. If we can devise a tool to test against, it would be great for the entire mankind.

There is nothing in life that can be proved because we accept opinions as fact. You see we assume things because we are taught to accept or conform to the majority rule.
In order to know if something is absolutely correct we have to have indisputable proof. proof that can not be debated away. And to obtain this we would have to know where life began and who or what created it and be able to confront and question the original source. This is not possible
No way a tool can be designed to make this happen without the source to mold the tool after.
The best we can do is keep an open mind and listen to all opinions and choose which opinion works best for us. But in doing so allow everyone the same respect to be allowed to do the same.
This would change the answer to your question to yes there is an absolute right in life for me and everyone else depending on the opinion they choose.

The speed of light is absolutely correct. I suspect that making the correct decision, always, is impossible. If you can devise a tool that can be used to analyze the factors influencing our decisions, making them "always" correct, you will probably be given a Noble award.

Love and compassion for all sentient beings .
( If a jeffry dalmer type needs to be euthanized ,
even that can be done with compassion )
Respect for the planet (not contaminating the air or water )
Or trying to reduce it when you discover it's happening .
Coming to all situations with an open mind & holding off on decision until you've considered what others have 'brought to the table'.
Wrong are decisions based on hate & anger .

Yes. Though guilt can be proven, in the absence or despite of lies and deceit. Innocence can be very difficult to prove accompanied by the same. When Christ explained that the law says and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but He teaches, Love you enemy do good to those who spitefully use you and pray for those who curse you ex...... I think one would be hard pressed to try to find fault in Forgiveness Mercy and True Love.

It depends on the persons point of view. Anything in life can be right if you squint really hard at it. But to me nothing in life is truly right because we aren't perfect. but some people see things the way they want to see it. it's a thin border line between good and bad,

We all make wrong choices. That is how we learn and evolve as human beings. No choice is actually a wrong one, if a lesson was learned from it. Sometimes experience is the best teacher.

yes some things are intrinsically worng or evil or bad.
however..i realize this is not a popular belief nowadays...but i still believe it.
when you throw out authoritative turth and right and wrong.....you are asking for the destruction of society.

Absolute right would be perfection. Nothing in life is perfect.
