If I were to concisely put it with a fews word each, would it be a close approxmation to say morality is an automatic response and ethics is a rational response?

Hah, I felt I was already trimming it down to be as concise as I could get it. Maybe ethical systems are always rational, but I wouldn't take that to mean automatic responses are not rational.

I think the important part is that morality doesn't have a central goal and isn't designed, and ethics does and is.
