Choosing to live, is already a pre- moral choice. Then comes the question of how? . And we know what is good and what is bad. Then what follow is " What do l do".One can either go about it randomly or methodically designed to avoid anything bad but striving to be on the side of good, of which that methodology come to be called morality.
This explicitly morality will allow one to choose rationally among values, which is the motive to act to gain and keep. Values are concerned with goals that one is able to pursue among the many values. Values are the motive power behind any purposeful action, as the end in which we act.
It must be observed that without values, we cannot act, it tends to specifies relationship between person and goal. It must also be observed that, it is the goal to which one aims that come to represent the value, of which a relationship is required, because object cannot be a value in itself.
It must be said that values are essential to ethics, because ethic is concerned with human actions and the choice of those actions, which it evaluate to know the values that underline them. The evaluations is to determine which values should is good to be pursued and which is bad not to be pursued, because ethic is the code of values.
Previously, we have said, morality will always allow one to choose rationally among values, but what does it mean to be rational?. However, it must be said that rationality apart from been a habit of acting by reason, it is the recognition and acceptance of reason as the only source of knowledge, the only judge of value and guide to action, but in accordance with the facts of reality.However, it must be added that rationality does not mean, being a perfectionist in thought and ideas, but acting acting according to reason and is a virtue only to the extent that it encourages towards a method of survival.
Therefore, morality makes selection of values rational as it provide adequate method of evaluation. The same is true, that in this perspective values comes to be compared to a moral standard and prioritized according to how well it come to promote that very standard. But to make any decisions aesier, a virtues must be developed which are moral habits that help to gain many values.
