I think I am most comfortable living my life from a morally neutral position. That means for me that I'm not always looking to move the moral needle. We're free from the Great moral score keeper in the sky, and there is no reason to take up that task ourselves.
That doesn't mean I'm for overturning the great moral lesson of our childhood - "don't be a jerk". But if that really matters to us, we won't be. There is no reason to go around in fear that your moral horribleness will break out at any moment unless you remain vigilant. The other lesson we should have incorporated in childhood was "trust your self".
