I don't like the idea of a structured framework of morals to work with, as often they can change from suggestions and guidelines into a strict set of rules.
I personally don't feel as though I need something to anchor my way of life to. I feel at home with my decisions, although i have to be honest, I live a nice uncomplicated life, which does not lend itself to complicated moral quandries very often. Additionally, i don't live among people who expect a certain style of behaviour from me. That always makes things easier, when you can behave in anyway you like, as long as you don't hurt anybody elses feelings.
I can understand the appeal of a set of guidelines to influence and inspire a focused way of life, I think I just prefer the freedom of going my own way.
