I don't think any of you quite understand my question. I'm asking a specific theoretical question about Meta-Ethics.

When we pitch our question into the void and the unknown, we must speak from human point of view. When we poke into the abyss of virtual world then we must invoke human spirit in our questioning. Books do not talk with books, neither minds talk to minds until there are people behind – feeling, thinking and living human beings. The question of all questions is – who is asking?
For without feeling, thinking and living human presence no ethical principle would mean anything anyway. Nature is amoral, cruel and unconcerning. The beauty of nature is but most cunning way to express its purpose in the wild, purpose of growth and survival.
The source of ethical sense in human beings is in fact the search for excellence. All ethical principles serve this natural need. We find and see that the best form of living is in togetherness, as it is assuring and accentual of human condition. We have natural tendency to excel and be perfect, but we know we cannot be perfect as individuals. We then seek perfection in our collectiveness. This is why ethical and moral codes are precious to societies because they are the markers for their own excellence. This is most ironic that all sense of imperfection result from our comparisons of ourselves with fellow human beings in the first place. The cure for which then we seek again in our togetherness - in us becoming one with others as a society, a group or a tribe.
We therefore not only cognitively perceive and learn to live together; we also feel the goodness in doing so. We do not form societies just to safeguard ourselves from the perils of the alien world around but to fulfil most intrinsic of our needs.
