A paper seemingly written for this thread.

Is it just your opinion that an act is destructive?
If not, that’s the objectivity being referred to in moral theories.
Even constructive and destructive can be subjective, though probably much less so than 'right' or 'wrong.'
The main point was that I think when discussing morality we can get lost in the weeds of right and wrong, and that constructive and destructive are much better words to use.
That being said, I don't we'll ever get anyone to agree on it all. It's a complex subject, no doubt.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
