Exploring the Foundation of Obligations in Morality

Obligations in morality stem from the need to follow laws, with obligations being towards persons rather than abstract concepts or objects. Morality involves the obligation to do good and not bad, held between individuals. Even if there is an objective morality outside of individuals, it does not explain the obligation aspect. Common sense intuitions about morality point towards a theistic solution as the most plausible. Obligations are only between persons, not towards non-agent objects like the environment, although there are responsibilities related to the planet's treatment. The nature of morality suggests a foundation rooted in personal obligations rather than abstract concepts or objects.
