Which means your actions, thoughts or motivations which comply with it come under the dos and those which do not come under the don'ts. This also makes it a standard by which you can judge your actions, thoughts and motivations. Compliance is then labelled as right and non-compliance as wrong.
Do you make moral statements and believe we have obligations or duties to behave a certain way?
I can make ought assessments of my own behavior and that of others based on my judgement of what is the prudent thing to do or simply the things I want to do or to be. But it makes no sense to me to assert that there is a duty or obligation to do or not do this or that.
