Fundamentals of EthicsEthics book
Ethics has been the subject of philosophers since time immemorial. There are no moral absolutes for sure, but there is no man without morals. Everything we do is an expression of our moral code. Even amoralism (i.e. complete utilitarianism) is a moral philosophy. I think TRPers often forget the vast differences between the moral codes of people.
I highly recommend this book for a concise but surprisingly deep review of moral philosophy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199773556/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Now, closer to your question, for what it's worth i have always aligned myself closer to the Stoics, and i m getting closer and closer over the years. So yes, i do follow a moral code, although i continuously scrutinize it as well. In the end , it DOES matter whether you have lived your life morally as a source of ultimate satisfaction that you will get in the end of your life. I would think, if i had to give up all morals to become king of the world, i would feel a sense that i've betrayed myself in the end and be equally dissatisfied.
It's obviously not an answerable question, and one that will be with you for your entire life.
