Hi all,

I would narrow down those moral principles to just the one: do as you
please.

The difficulty arises in finding out what pleases you and learning through
experience that your actions have consequences.
I can seek pleasure in the short term but in the long term I might regret.
Also, a large factor is how we think our actions would be viewed by others.
If I help someone then they will be more disposed to help me later.

Our lower levels are stronger than we think though. Would you choose to save
another's child instead of your own? If you could save ten other children or
your own? Maybe it costs £100,000 to raise your child - but how many other
needy children could be helped instead with that money?
