See, This is what people mean by &quot;shades of gray&quot; -  And yeah, I was pushing 30 before I figured this out  (and amusingly, I read a <i>lot</i> of philosophy in my teens and 20s trying to figure this out.  Which... actually helps;  you read enough, and you find that only crazies are certain of themselves.  There aren&#x27;t really answers to be had of the absolute sort, not in philosophy.)<p>Yes, nothing you do is going to absolutely harm no one else;  No job is going to be absolutely &quot;good&quot; from a ethical perspective.
