There is never a right answer. Just like there is never a full truth. There are simply thousands of ways one can chose and explain things. People tend to blame their choices on external factors. They blame it on the alcohol, on morals, on teachers, parents, basically anything other then themselves. But intimately it is you and only you who made the choice. You chose not do a homework assignment, not because your teacher don't care, or your parents will never find out, but because you simply chose not to do it. It's kinda hard to think about making a choice with the absence of external factors or without morals, but that is what Sartre implies what happens. I think that it is exhilarating and scary to think that we make decisions based on nothing other than ourselves and not outside factors.
We can say that morals have something to do with the decisions we make, but how is anyone to say that your morals are right or wrong. And with that, someone can not say that you made a wrong decision. This means that a decision can never be wrong or right, it is simply a decision.
