Which of the two moral premises to build a culture on sounds better?
1. We determine values and norms together to have a structured society and people know what laws to obey, what not to do, what rights they have etc.
OR
2. The only thing in the world that we CAN do, is trying to find happyness. For the rest we just do things.
Notice the difference between the two. Number 1. can never exist in number 2. because man is not able to do that. He is only able to try and be happy. For the rest he just does things.
(in case you're woundering. The Indian culture was built on number 2. but colonisers have destroyed it
