Morals tell us as people what we should or shouldn't do. Some are personal, while others are more lawfully backed.
It is in human nature to act morally, therefore, one who acts morally is better pleased with himself than one who does not act morally.
Since the first homo sapiens, people have had the choice to act morally or not to. A paper written on early human mortality suggests that those who prospered in early human life were the ones who chose a moral living standard.
Humans who live morally are happier, and have greater success. Humans who don't live this way are caught up in wrong doings, sadness, and despair; they don't prosper.
There are many principles that are considered moral, and that should be upheld in order to maintain the moral nature of humans. The most prominent of these, is to care for the people around you. Humans should recognize the struggles and imperfections of others around them and try to help them.
Modern morals don't hold this principle as high as it should be. Humans are becoming more and more distant from each other, and they aren't able to help each other anymore.
Like I said earlier about people disobeying morals, many people don't uphold principles that should be kept. These can be big or small principles, there is always a part of the human mind that will question the right answer, or path.
