Morality is something like the physical laws of the universe. We discover physical laws and codify them into science text books but physical laws exist whether we pay attention to them or not; we did not invent the laws of physics or in any way develop them. Likewise, morality exists and operates whether we have bothered to codify it extensively or not. We consciously experience morality and each of us is aware of morality, such that ignorance of moral code is never allowed as an excuse in our comings and goings. We are consciously aware of morality in our personal experience, and this awareness is a shared human awareness.

Until composing this response, I have never considered the act of picking a booger and flicking it into some bloke’s eye when I get frustrated. No one has instructed me about it and there is no written or spoken code I know of which categories this action as good or bad morality. Yet, I can easily conclude this falls under the morally bad column, and am confident most human beings would concur.
