@existential potential,
Well, in my opinion, I find that ethics and morals are two denominational structures which are an amalgamation of the various elements which constitute the other. In short, your morals soon become your ethics, and your ethics may experience such metamorphosis as well. In addition, I believe that moral structure is one superiod element which is endowed in all humans, which causes to raise us in emminence above the inferiority of beasts of our world. Our moral definition is that which contributes pertinently and noticeably to the development, and conducive thriving of our sentient atmosphere, and, as well, ethics are a mental ability to distinguish and lead to prerogatives regarding what will serve to better manifest our sculptural being. When in the presence and guidance of ethics, we may stray from paths which, in hindsight, will indellibly mar our psyche and taint our personal perception, and wrought upon our dimensionality that for which we will be forever sorrowful, regretful, and remorseful. Cheers!- hope this perspective aids in your understanding- and one more suggestion; If you wish to learn of your personal and true potential for comprehension and retention of these two elements, you may want to read, Rene Descartes, A Discourse on Method, in which he divulges a preliminary portion of his method which involves stripping human knowledge down to its nude form, leaving ones own opinions to the utmost dilligent and scrupulous scrutiny, and then to begin anew, formulating opion, and thereby knowledge, based on attempting to understand the proportional relation and interconnectivity of morals and ethics, as they relate to nearly all other elements in the Earth, and thereby you may find enlightenment. Or, you could go into meditation in some serene and ostensibly sacred and venerable sector of worldly place, attempt to achieve enlightenment etc; Finally, please excuse the extensive length and extraneous elaboration, you must remember, a quote from Descartes, not exactly however, "do not attempt to rebuild your foundation upon the ruin of previous society's, wherein you will find failure and deformaties and eventually, deterioration. Rebuild, with newly developed architecture, and you will be successful"- (In fact, the thematic substance is correct, but the wording isn't at all reminsicent of the eminence of Descartes- but it is useful to cogitate about)
