I would have thought that your morality was defined as your sense of right and wrong. I don't think morality has to reflect any abstract right or wrong.

Of course I know very well what my personal principles and beliefs are. I also know that they are only my own, that they have nothing to do with any abstract or universal standard. I don't know if any such standard exists; I am inclined to think that it does not. I do think that my personal moral standard is superior to those of some others, but that is only my opinion, and it mainly reflects a preference for principles and beliefs derived from thought over those derived from pure belief in what one has been told.
