I find it difficult to describe "morality".
It has its uses, albeit pragmatical ones. I don't think there is an objective morality. There certainly are moral values, most (all?) of them are based on altruism, empathy, Mind Theory and suffering/joy. E.g. the Golden Rule is a recognition of the minds of others (Mind Theory) and their suffering/joy.
