Morals

'Good ' is subjective
It depends on individual people

Values / Morals are the creation of  groups of powerful people based on popular doctrines in order to control other groups in society and society itself

Control -

1. Control based on benefiting society

E.g. Do not steal
Do not use violence

Prevent people getting hurt

Control as a means

However the control is still exerted by a certain group and type of people

2. Control someone because you know what's best for them

But again 'best ' is subjective

And even if control is done for your best wouldn't you rather excercise your own will and make your own choices even with crap consequences rather than being controlled?
