Nothing is inherently, indisputably bad or good-- morality requires constant dispute to stay true and valid.

I'm not sure I understand what this means. Does it mean nothing is just right or wrong but there must be a reason that explains it (and we must find out what that reason is) or does it mean that whether things are right or wrong depends on what we decide rather arbitrarily?

I'm asking because I'm quite sure I might be Ravenclaw Primary but out of the two possible meanings of this sentence I could think of, I agree with the first one, the second one makes me angry because I know things are objectively right or wrong for a clear reason that is beyond what we might make of it subjectively.

Just my interpretation of the quote, but it feels like it’s focusing on morality and it’s consistancy, or there lack of. Also, emphasis on indisputably and inherently. 

Morals change with facts and experiences you go through. Nothing is forever good and bad, you can think something is good for most of your life until an experience proves it otherwise. Like for example, charity you would think is always good, however later on you would, for example, hear about how the people you are supposedly helping end up becoming dependant and are unable to sustain themselves without help.

Morals change, and when they change then the previous morals you had were technically false and invalid as you’ve had a change of mind and/or heart. 

Morals can vary from person to person. Therefore, “good” and “evil” can be talked about and people have different values which may conflict with yours. 

I’m ofc not the writer though, so I wouldn’t know what they mean. This is just my take on it, and I hope it helps. If not, then so be it. I hope you find a house you believe you fit in with :)

Thank you very much for giving your take to my question, I appreciate it. :) I've decided I'm probably a Ravenclaw upon giving it more thought.
