What is the source for our morals?

It's interesting what you said about societies not being able to think outside their own accepted morality. I've always held that to be very true, and it's one of the reasons objective morality is nonsense. Every society uses itself as a yardstick.

I've said before, I think people generally go with the flow. They may think they would have developed exactly the same moral ideals in a different culture, but I reckon that's wishful thinking. It's one of the reasons I always try and think outside of societal norms for my own morality. I'm not saying I always succeed, but I try.

That's a good and useful exercise.
But I find it wise to stay anonymous in the practice.
Thought police are not yet very effective, but once outed, iconoclasts tend to be suppressed, often violently.

Yikes

I appreciate the warning. Hopefully this wouldn't apply to me, as I'm often just refraining from doing or supporting certain things that society says is "okay". Things that I can imagine future generations looking back on with horror that we ever did them. I'm not going around pushing my agenda on anyone though (not intentionally anyway, apologies if I've ever come off that way on the forum). It's more like I hope I can lead by example to some small degree. I have had some success in that department.
