If morals have grey areas then they are not objective/absolute.
By that, I just mean they are dependent on circumstances, but that they are still objective within those circumstances.
Example:
The morality of yelling at someone is a grey area.
It is objectively wrong to yell at a random person simply because you are having a bad day and need someone to take your anger out on, even though the person has nothing to do with why you are upset.
It is objectively not wrong to yell at someone you just caught abusing your child.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
