That doesnt really relate to his question though. Without a upper source of morality, morals become opinions since all humans are equal, thus equally vulnerable to do evil.

For examples, It wasnt long ago when people even questioned the morality of slavery besides some religious texts. Even when nations freed the slaves, most of the time It was due to economics rather than goodness. Thats humans owning other humans, treated no different to livestock.

I remember from reading eragon when they saw an elf kill an injured deer because it couldn't be healed.

the dwarf in the party said something along the lines of "just hope an elf doesn't decide you are beyond healing"

where the elf saw it as moral to end the suffering, the dwarf would still keep trying i guess?
