The correct thing to do Urban Dictionary

A word that is quite subjective, given that everybody has different morals. To say that some one can do "good", Good must first be defined. An act of moral goodness in one persons eyes may be abhorrent in anothers. To assert that one is a moral person would require that some definition of good be a universal constant, and due to the fact that everyone has different morals, we are left with few options. A.solipsism B.There are no morals Urban Dictionary

There are two types of morality: 1) Being moral for someone else This first example would be like someone doing everything the Christian Church says to do just because everyone thinks the church is always right. 2) Being moral for oneself The second example would be like someone doing what the believe is right. They would not do this thing for any reason other than they know for themselves that it is right. Being moral does not mean a person is automatically a "wussy" or mean that they are in charities. It means only that when they are pressed to do the right thing, they do. Urban Dictionary

Moral implies making a sacrafice for a long term goal. It doesn't imply any specific code but just any code. A moral person could challenge and take down the Christian church. Urban Dictionary

Something that society nowadays knows nothing of. being moral is not proving something to others, being moral is proving something to yourself. Being moral is not THINKING you know what you are doing is right, its KNOWING what you are doing is right. Being moral doesnt mean not watching TV, nor donating to charity (Although donating to charity is really awesome, it doesnt make a person good or worse than another, it just means that they are a very generous person) Being moral is not adopting people from third world countries, or other things mentioned by people who have no idea what morality is. Urban Dictionary

Things that most people have which stop people from doing things that either: 1) are mean or unfair to other people or 2) have been outlawed by a higher power, such as the police or God, usually for the protection of others' health or rights. Morals do not have a physical form, although some "codes of conduct" attempt to represent them. Urban Dictionary
