Yeah morality is part of that strange triangle of theory, action and desire. It is hard to conceive of something as being immoral unless you have experienced it, once you have it takes attention and maturity to decide you should avoid that desired behaviour and it just takes discipline to put it into action. Because of all these extra steps I see morality as something that can be learned - or in fact has to be learned as opposed to it being an innate right/wrong detector. It's actually pretty fun to find out what you really believe and then to follow it. I've only just started to do it myself :)
