Absolute Humane Morality and Relative Humane Morality

There are two moralities which everyone must consider, and it might be said it is the goal of society to always and forever ensure the harmonization of these to moralities. Status quo, however, it is inconceivable to imagine such a world, and envision in realistic terms its probable realization through contemporaneous means. And indeed, a contradiction in the two categories is not necessarily "bad" inasmuch as the contradiction is resolved in a manner favorable to consideration of that principle. By absolute, I mean having an omniscient frame of observation and by relative (or particular) I mean specific to an individual observer. By humane, I mean drawing value formation from a human consciousness, and by morality I mean the natural preference of choices that flows from the respective frames of observation and value impulses. Contradictions between these two moral wills can occur as the result of a variety of reasons; information asymmetry--it's entirely possible at any given decision that we are simply unable, given the information available, to judge the proper probabilities of impacts, to foresee all causalities and potentialities, and to weigh correctly and be prescient of all impacted actors and correctly choose the causal path to the highest utility in either frame. Especially since no one with which the individual can communicate intelligibly observes the absolute frame and is able to give advice. It's possible one might weigh the morality of an action and find it to be positive relativistically but negative absolutely. In such a case, whether the action be an affirmative sacrifice, or a negative pursuit of exploitation, one should choose the absolute frame of reference to prefer because it is only from an absolute frame that utility of productive capacity is maximized and a maximum efficiency has the highest probability and shortest time frame of serving the two universal abstracts, which are really the exact same concept stated along two metrics (magnitude and temporality); the will to power and the will to life.
