So how much should we concern ourselves with morality? How much is enough?

Poll: How moral is moral enough?
This poll is closed.
It is enough that a person is pro-socially oriented with a well developed capacity for empathy which places a very high priority on not harming others in a manner one would not welcome if the positions were reversed.

In addition to the above, a person should articulate a moral hierarchy of concerns and strive never to act toward others in a manner inconsistent with that system, or else feel a well deserved sense of failure.

In addition to the above, that system should to some degree prescribe actions taken to benefit others .. not merely avoid harming them.

In addition to all of the above, acting in a manner consistent with ones moral system should at all times be the most important consideration in ones life.

The society in which I live determines the minimum moral standard thru enforcement of law(s). Beyond that the morals an individual adheres to are their own, my assumption is that it would be based on set and setting. 

To me, your list of ascending(?) choices of morals almost feels like an application to judge others. I can't do that because I don't live the same life as others. I'd hope that they would be similar to mine but can't necessarily fault them when theirs seem to be lacking (when compared to mine) and don't want to be looked down upon when they find mine lacking.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
