Ethical Quandary

unspeakablehorrorI think I often feel those ethical quandaries where satisying one of your ethical imperatives actively works against satisfying another of your ethical imperatives. And I guess it would be easy if I could just be like "well this one is clearly more important" but that...rarely happens.
I'm rarely indecisive despite this frequent problem--it just means I feel a certain low-level frustration about this pretty much all the time. I guess a lot of the time I tend to take the 'do nothing' approach, but of course I am aware that doing nothing is not an ethically neutral action either. Its just the one that's easiest to implement, and faced with decisions that all seem bad to me, I tend to go with the bad decision that takes the least work!
