I fire burns you, you oughtn't stick your hand in it if you don't want to get burned.

What's hard about it is what is meant by "moral fact"... and whether it's valid to extrapolate a personal principle or policy in to a general principle or policy.
The PURPOSE of life is to replicate our DNA ................. (from Darwin)
The MEANING of life is the experience of living ... (from Frank Herbert)
The VALUE of life is the legacy we leave behind ..... (from observation)
