I think our morals come from God. If I didn't believe in God, I know that I would have been doing some really bad things at the moment.

Hello @yaanivapeji :) thank you for your comment. It is interesting that you say that because one of the five moral foundations proposed by Haidt is Sanctity / Degradation, which according to him underlies notions of religion that lead individuals to live life in more elevated, nobler ways. It's beautiful right? :) The basis of our moral convictions go way further than fairness and justice.
I do hope you begin to feel more light and contentment in your heart in order to extinguish the inclination towards doing bad things. Being good and doing good is healthier than the alternative option, mentally and physically.
I wish you all the best & thank you for taking part in this discussion.
