I think everyone has his or her own standards for morality, and that this can both isolate and connect people.  It can isolate them, for people have varying beliefs which do not coincide.  And it can also connect people, for common beliefs and a sense of morality in people will create an environment for "mutual benefit." In other words, if everyone had morals, we would all mutually benefit from eachother, for we obviously depend on eachother for survival.  And an overall balance of both connecting and not-connecting, in relation to morals, inevitably keeps life going.
