Why there is a need for human to be moral?

Morality sets the principles that govern our behaviour and it has always been
important to the society. We as rational beings have our own opinions and
judgments. Given these differences, it usually results to conflicts and we need to
have a common ground and morality could greatly help us in achieving this. It is
for the reason that it sets rules on how people should act towards other people. It
helps to provide security to members of the community, create stability, foster trust,
and facilitate cooperation in achieving shared goals.
It is extremely important for our overall well-being because it actually gives
us meaning, purpose and energy for doing something meaningful. It helps us to
live together and, while doing so, improve the conditions under which we live.
Without this, it would be nearly impossible for people to be living with one another.
Personally, I can’t really imagine a world where people live without following and
believing on certain set of rules regarding human conduct, it would certainly cause
chaos.
Morality impacts our everyday decisions, and those choices are directed by
our conscience. This would surely help us to choose the things that we do to be in
accordance with morality. When we are moral, we make better judgment and
eventually help us build a community where people choose to do well. For
instance, everyone has their right to live and all are expected to protect it. By being
moral, we often show our respect to others because this would lead to a
harmonious relationship. It could guide our life towards noble goals, rather than
our life being controlled by self-serving motives, bad habits or emotions.
Often they say that becoming moral requires enough sensitivity to feel guilty
when we do wrong, enough acceptance to embrace our responsibility for behaving
in agreed upon ways towards our group, and enough understanding to be able to
place ourselves in another person's shoes. One thing we should always remember
is that we need to be moral all the time regardless of the situation.
