Instead of morales, there are ethics. When you do something "wrong", instead of feeling guilty and moping, you reflect on it, and change your code of ethics to make sure it's not a problem in the future, either by making an ethical decision not to do the same thing, or by simply refusing to judge it as ethically incorrect.

Most importantly, instead of attempting in the Judaic fashion to clariry something as one thing or the other, this system of beliefs tries to define a fulcrum between two poles. Something becomes less positive, more negative, but not entirely one or the other. When somethings is intensely complex, like a person for instance, it can be thought of as an intersection of balancing beams, each with two poles of varying influence/weight. There is one central fulcrum where all the beams meet, and there is the point of being...

Interesting stuff!
