Morality is a large set of generally agreed upon value judgements assumed by a given group of individuals for a plethora of reasons (or lack thereof) that forms the basis of how those individuals interact with each other and how they handle those interactions if and when complications arise. This isn't my opinion, this is observation. I have opinions "about" morality, but I'm not so enthralled with my own opinions that I would claim that they are somehow objectively or universally true, especially considering that we have never been able to demonstrate a moral absolute in the first place. An individual is obviously free to form their own personal morality that has nothing to do with any other individual but in the context of what is or is not objectively or universally morally true this morality would have very little bearing on the discussion unless it could be shown that their personal morality was in fact the objectively or universally true morality.
(I'd like to throw a shoutout to Genks position on this matter, it is possible that such a thing exists and we simply haven't discovered it yet, but until we do...null hypothesis..and that's just my personal preference for handling conjecture speaking, anyone else is free to go whatever way they want with it. lol)

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!
