You can;t reason your way to either of them?
Quote:If you try to reason them, and make them, well because it suits our needs, and suits my needs, you are reducing morality to utility for yourself, which makes it entirely selfish.Morality may be a selfish endeavor. It's, at least, entirely self referential....but so what? So what if it is?

I think that your being mystified by morality has more to do with your ignorance and inability than in anything about morality, or the brain, itself.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
