Morality is a code of conduct system that forms people's values in social life and judges and evaluates specific human behaviors. Life is the whole life process of human beings, and it is the unity of natural and social processes of life. The former has obviously played an important role in the process of human civilization, making mankind move from barbarism to civilization and from pure instinctive action to socially meaningful action.
There is an old saying: be upright, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's character, run the country by the family and level the world. Honesty and self-cultivation are the foundation of building a family, the source of governing the country and the foundation of leveling the world. Nowadays, the society advocates having both ability and political integrity, so as to learn wisdom and complete moral cultivation. Happiness is the object or environment that people contact with, and it is a state and process that conforms to people's internal scale. It has the characteristics of transcendence, unity, fractal dimension, difference, individuality and sociality. As far as the specific situation that moral norms are consistent with people's happiness is concerned, it is a necessary condition for people's happiness and a public resource for people to get happiness. Although there are discordant notes between moral norms and human happiness under special circumstances, on the whole, it is consistent with human happiness, and this consistency is positively related to the universality of moral norms. Therefore, moral education plays a vital role in life.
