It's been argued that libraries are secular churches. If you're looking for more instruction (and don't want to harass the librarian), Unitarian services are a good choice. Another option would be to see if your local community college offers any courses on ethics, or ask a University professor if you can sit in and audit a class.

Do you give back money someone gave you as a gift?
If someone gives you money, it's yours (well, assuming it was theirs to give away in the first place; if someone robs a bank and gives you half, this argument is not going to get you very far in avoiding charges of being an accessory after the fact unless you didn't know and had no reason to suspect that anything less than legal was going on ... even then, you're going to have to return it to the bank).
They can ask for it back, but you're not actually required to return it.

Difference between Legal and ethical standards?
Following laws does not make one ethical. Slavery was at one time legal in the United States. Escaping slaves could be beaten or killed in accordance with the law. While this practice was certainly legal, the unethical nature of it is quite clear. By the same token, when it was discovered that the ford pinto exploded into flames in a rear end collision, Ford used the legal standards set forth by the national highway transportation association and cost benefit analysis to justify not implementing a fix. The result was more fatal accidents. Legal is following the law and may include exploiting holes in the legal system. Ethics is doing the morally and socially right thing. Some laws may not even have any ethical connotations whatsoever. Parking in a loading zone is illegal, and kind of stupid, but not unethical.

Most decisions have only one logical outcome, and when logical means like consequences-based or rule-based reasonings are employed, they will likely reach the same conclusion. If they do not, it is likely that some other reasoning is clouding logic. It is okay for this logic to be clouded, but it needs to be acknowledged as such.

How easy is it to make moral decisions?
Conscience can sometimes be enhanced by religious belief, which at least encourages us to listen to our consciences. It can also be enhanced by ethics training, which helps us to appreciate the finer points of conscience and to resolve conflicting obligations.
Some moral decisions are easy to make, while others are hard. While religion arguably over-simplifies moral dilemmas, ethics aims to look at the goals of moral behaviour and thereby make appropriate choices when there are conflicting moral duties. In real-life situations, it is often difficult to make the best moral decision, and we learn to accept that well-intentioned decisions do not have to be perfect every time.
A famous example, often studied in philosophy courses is the case of the woman whose husband was condemned to death by the Nazis. The guard agreed to spare her husband's life in return for the wife having regular sex with him, which meant that she would be committing adultery. This was a most difficult moral decision, that few of us would ever face, and she chose to commit adultery in order to save her husband.
