Why be good?

[AFTT47]

I think the logical way forward would be looking at a solution as a practicality rather than establishing a fictional morality.  With my goal of preventing my own pain, one way to go about that is a system where we all prevent eachothers pain.  Ironically, by threatening pain upon those who cause others pain.  But that's not really morality, that's the rule of law.  The difference being that you are motivated by avoiding punishment rather than caring whether others experience pain.  

So, I guess personally, I think the idea of morality is nonsensical.  

I can't speak for anyone else but I am MUCH more guided by what I consider moral than by law.
