Of course, from the simple fact that we exist and have morals, morality has an inherent role to play in human life.
However, emotions are often the source of morality. So, on a purely logical world, morality wouldn't be necessary. Problems would be solved logically and the idea of harm as we conceive it wouldn't exist; not in a world without emotional beings.
Going even further, had the world no conscious beings, then there would be no problems at all. Even the phenomena we call natural disasters would be just natural occurrences in this unwitnessed reality.
Then why is having morals (and emotions) better than not having them?
Let's say humans had not existed, or that we could somehow exist without a moral sense. Would that be better, worse, or the same? How would you justify the need for morality to exist against this alternative?
