Hume that Sentiment/Emotion is the Source of our Moral Obligation
I agree with Hume that sentiments or emotions are the sources of our moral obligations. Indeed,

virtuous because they make them feel good. On the other hand, people avoid acts of vice because
they know they bring sorrow and pain. Therefore naturally, people's feelings control their moral
obligations...
