Self Relience

"No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names readily transferable to that or this."

Something is good or bad if in my heart, I truly believe it to be good or bad. If this is true for all people, how can we as a society define morality, or even laws. If I don't find a law bad, is it my duty to obey this law? What are morals? Are they a universal ideal? According to self reliance, no set list of morals can exist for all people. Each person must decide which morals he holds to be true in himself.
