Pretty much. The most "real" type of morality is things that you feel are wrong on an emotional level even if you can't explain, and those are very subjective.
For example, there are people that are deeply haunted by images of any kind of pain being done to another human, but don't care about harm coming to animals. I personally can't stand animal cruelty, but I can tolerate looking at cruelty done to humans even if I know it's morally (in the cultural sense) wrong.
Some people feel strongly about all animals. Some feel strongly just about dogs or cats. Some feel strongly about humans. Some feel strongly only about people like them. Some feel strongly only about kids (regardless of where they come from).
Of course, there's nothing stopping you from having a broad stance - like, say, all suffering is bad - but sooner or later you're going to have to make a choice as to whom you're more likely to let suffer as you focus on saving others.
It's like choosing between tits and ass. There's clearly no goo-- oh wait, it's ass. Yeah. It's always ass. ASS.

It's 20 years later and I still have my original copies of ASoIaF. I am reading them now back to back for the 8th time. And I haven't read any of the side stories or worldbuilding books even once.
I am not sure what to feel.
