R’ Chaim Soloveitchik famously said that Hashem created the world in a way that the things which are assur and morally reprehensible are only destructive because they are assur. Had Hashem not assured murder, the world could exist perfectly with everyone murdering each other, even though that’s a reality we could never fathom. There are no absolute morals, the Torah is koveiah what things are moral and what aren’t.
