I've always found morality to be a vague, counterintuitive thing, really - no one can agree on one set of morals in the first place, so they obviously aren't a universal constant. I think it's more a societal thing than anything; there are basic rules that almost everyone seems to agree upon, yes, but I question why - most civilized people seem to agree that "murder is bad," for example, but I have to wonder if that's because they legitimately find it abhorrent or because they've been raised to think it's abhorrent and so they believe it to be so.

It also makes me wonder what people would be willing to do if they had complete amnesty from society's rules for a while - whether they would all remain so "moral" then.
