I love Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day, and here's another really great quote:
The whole idea, of course, is one of reciprocity, and not "morality from above" (i.e., "God").

Objective moral values exist because they can exist, and, hence, do exist.
Quote:"The covenant only works if each partner, as best as possible, puts the other's needs above his or her own, with the understanding that the other will reciprocate." — David Brooks, The New York Times, 7 Mar. 2017
