Why do we need moral values? We need them to survive, to make civil society possible at all, to get to heaven and to find happiness here on earth too, for there is no personal happiness for the unethical person. Only a decent, honorable person can know happiness, contentment and inner peace.
Besides, our innate depravity, coupled with our lack of sustaining animal instincts on how to act in bustling, bruising modern society, impels humans to adopt value systems, conventions of behavior, so that we know how to act, and behave ourselves in a civilized manner.
