Of course, no set of morals is 'right'.I do a number of things that aren't the path of least resistance, for example cooking rather than buying ready meals, or holding the door open for someone.
Do you honestly assess every choice according to what would be the quickest and easiest way?

Path of least resistance...Is not merely choosing the quickest and easiest option directly ahead of you.
It is choosing the quickest and easiest SET of options, looking ahead as much as is possible and relevant.
You cook, as you are looking ahead to some point in the future, where having had a more nutritious meal, or more cash in your pocket, will benefit you. Or indeed, the greater level of satisfaction obtained from the meal will relax you, leaving you better rested later on down the path.
You hold the door open, as you will be percieved as polite and attentive, being as you are aware that people who just barge on through end up looking like tosspots.
OMG. I've done sod all work today. I think I'm gonna have to leave this debate (its kind of at a deadlock anyway), but I very much enjoyed it!
Incidentally. Any of the arguments I have put forth are not necessarily my opinion, and are subject to change at any time. For further details, please see my signature.

And veganism is explained in exactly the same way, as the followers derive pleasure from itand perhaps from the idea that their views may become more mainstream.
But yes, this was thoroughly enjoyable.
