So the kind of directing and favouring that you are locating and talking about is directing and favouring carried out by an agent. Ourselves. It underlines my point, it doesn't challenge it.
Morality instructs and favours. The only thing I'm aware of that can instruct and favour is an agent. So, unless you can provide some good reason to think otherwise, morality must be an agent.
Rhythm already responded to this, but I will too since you seem to have ignored his response. You have, in one foul swoop, cut the head off of your own argument. You replied that the agent involved when we respond to pain is ourselves, which shows that your desire to ascribe an external agent as the cause of morality is entirely unnecessary. We are the agent.
