Morals/Fear

Do you consider yourself a moral person? Most people would. Morals are imprinted on us from an early age, and in most cases carry on with us for life. Even if our moral run into conflict with our hidden desires, we tend to still abide by them. But why? What makes us color inside the lines when we could freehand the picture anytime we like. --Fear. It is fear that makes us conform with written and unspoken morals. Weather it be the fear of God, in religious cases; the fear of being out casted by society; or the fear of the repercussions that rebelling might bring. It is fear that controls mostly all our actions. Its is fear that builds empires as well as destroys them.

Does a person who has no fears have no morals. Or does the person with no fear decide what is morally right. A society with no fear would be full of chaos, for people would act solely on instinct, disregarding all consequences. Instead of the fear that morals bring, there would simply be the fear of the actions of man. Is there really a difference now?

A society with no fear/morals = CHAOS
A society with one person with no fear/morals = Our current political rule.
