I'm not sure whether you're just saying that moral decisions always tend to take the high ground (otherwise they wouldn't be moral decisions, fx for me eating meat is not a moral decision, but becoming a vegetarian would be).

Or you are arguing for somekind of moral relativism?

If it's the latter then I strongly disagree. If morality is nothing more than my own subjective perspective, then in effect you rule out every discussion of morality whatsoever. The consequenses of doing that are severe. How can we fx condemn atrocities if it's only morally wrong from our own perspective.
