But we all try to be good, even though we have our differences about what "good" means. There are very few people who will go out of their way to make the world a worse place to live in. We all just want happiness and love and fulfilling lives, and we're just trying to go about it in our own ways, so we shouldn't be so quick to judge each other and instead just try to help each other out in achieving these things.

You people rock. Peace and love. :hippy:
We're humans, yes. We can't be perfect, I agree. However, we are rational beings. We can think about how to act in certain situations consistently and universalisably. Like you said, a lot of people follow the path of preference utilitarianism, whether they are aware of it or not. I know i do.

Peace and love indeed.
