Yep, it looks like to "commit a perfect ethical action" at least for themself, a person will have to somehow see all the possible futures and then using some arbitrary criteria/s choose the best future for themself. Now it's easy for him to put some ethical weight on everything: if it's close to the ideal future for this person, it's closer to 100% good, if it's far - it's closer to 0% good.

So yep, ethics is relative, it's different for each person. We don't know the future, so that's why it's so hard.

But we can try to increase the number of possible futures (=choices) for everyone, this way people won't be locked up in some undesirable future without any way out.
