That morality is based on perception and reason acting upon each other rather than against
determines an action as being right.
Let's say that my reason for an action is unselfish and your perception is of it being as such, then the action can be considered as moral between the both of us.
If my action is unselfish and you perceive it as such then we agree the action is immoral.
In the event that my action is unselfish and your perception differs, you will see the action as immoral.
And such if the reason is selfish and your perception is the opposite, then you view it as moral.
Society and conditioning of the individual whether through immediate culture or events shapes a person's basic understanding of right and wrong, creating many exceptions to the postulations above.
How then can we measure morality?
You cannot, it is individualistic.
