In what sense is there right and wrong?

In what sense is there "right" and "wrong?" Please explain.

We have consciences and "a moral sense". It is unpleasant to "do wrong", and we feel happy when we "do right". This moral sense is combined with discussions with others. Our minds can model what other minds feel, and that gives us empathy.

So, I believe "right" and "wrong" are, at the core, labels for feelings.
