In the scheme of things, why did the concept of morals came about and is it essential? I mean existence absent Humans would have some balance as Nature is, no? There are so many questions, yet the go to answer I keep coming to is that one found in the legend of Gilgamesh: "live the best life you can live".


"As for you, Gilgamesh, let your belly be full,
Make merry day and night.
Of each day make a feast of rejoicing.
Day and night dance and play!
Let your garments be sparkling fresh,
Your head be washed; bathe in water.
Pay heed to a little one that holds on to your hand,
Let a spouse delight in your bosom."
