It's a set of standards...but who sets the standards?  Everybody will have a different opinion.

I want to raise another question for discussion...do you think better/higher moral standards yeilds better society and place to live in?

“己所不欲﹐ 勿施於人” 只係表面﹐背後要有“理解”和“互相尊重”黎支持﹐ 先至唔會變成“己所欲﹐施於人”
我喜歡但你不喜歡的事﹐常常有。只要我知道你不喜歡﹐並尊重你既選擇而無強行施於你身上﹐其實一D ...

Yes, it's not my business that one is gay but we're talking about moral, not acceptance.   e.g. Someone could commit suicide but is it the "right" thing to do?

Since human moral standards vary so much, we cannot rely on it.  We should look for a standard that's "given" to humans not created by humans.

人地要自殺﹐當然他自己覺得是對的﹐ 你可以說不對﹐但你不是他﹐你不應該將自己個套強加於別人身上﹐你地耶教唔係成日話咩自由意志咩? 如果他自殺沒影響到別人﹐ 關你鬼事。

別玩扭曲了﹐moral standard 沒有不同 ...

we're talking about a "standard" not and act/guide...if you can't differentiate the two and want to keep thinking they're the same thing, I can't stop you...but you're making yourself sound like a fool.

from wiki:
Perhaps his most famous teaching was the Golden Rule stated in the negative form, often called the silver rule:

子貢問曰、有一言、而可以終身行之者乎。子曰、其恕乎、己所 不欲、勿施於人。
Adept Kung asked: "Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life?"
The Master replied: "How about 'shu' [reciprocity]: never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself?"

Analects XV.24, tr. David Hinton

Confucius is only a human...he can set the standard?  Moreover, he said this as a guide for living a life, not moral standards.  Please don't drag in Christianity

who can tell which standards are "given" to human but not "created" by human? only human can tell

I am not atheist. Definitely not
I believe that the "moral standard given to human" that you talking about is from your god. This would leading back to the religious matters (which is fully expected  ...

It's not neccessarily my god or your god...if you're not an atheist then what's the MS from your religion?

Actually by comparing different MS, we can find the "ultimate" MS ourselves more or less.  The goal is to find the ultimate MS that will benefit mankind but without a slightest chance of harm.  If that's the ideal situation and people like to be good beings, then we should all follow this "ultimate" MS?
