The key to living well is knowing the general principles of morality, which establish a default moral value for every behavior. But it is also vital to know that circumstances can affect that default setting and change the value in particular, exceptional cases. All acts have circumstances, but most of the time those circumstances don't adjust away from the default (or presumptive) morality. But sometimes they do.
Four areas of morality
1. How you treat God
2. How you treat others
3. How you treat yourself
4. How you treat the world

I enjoyed this, although I have some confusion still. I think the last three areas of morality should all depend on how you do number 1. But that's just a part of my confusion.
