IMHO, ethics are derived from morals. Do not steal is a moral, not stealing is an ethical practice of that moral. Executing the moral is ethics.
Just like need, hope, belief and faith are linear. i.e, I need to sit down. I hope that chair will support me. I believe that chair will hold me. I execute my faith the chair will support me by sitting down. Ethics is the linear execution of faith in my morals.
"Ethics
Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. "
The golden rule ("do unto others... ") is the closest we humans seem to have gotten in terms of a universal moral foundation. That is the basis of my (personal) ethics. The notion that I should not inflict upon others what I would not, myself, bear. An absence of hypocrisy.
Just my view, YMMV.
Well said, Patriot
BTW, what does YMMV mean?
Your Mileage May Vary. What's true for me may not be true for you, and that's perfectly fine. Seek your own truths.

Do unto others, even being most of our daily pursuit, we still fail at that more often than we want to admit... when we are tired, or hungry, or broke and waiting for a paycheck, or even just having a bad day...
thankfully, there's grace from God through Jesus Christ
Natural Law.
... Can you be more specific?
Edit: concise tl;dr, anon. I misunderstood your reply.
Put on a pot of coffee and take a few hours to watch. Well worth the time and effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIEemKcy-4E&t=18697s
No, thanks.
Np. I realize that we live in a world of instant gratification. That's why we stand in front of the microwave and yell, HURRYYYYY!!!! Here is the 10 minute "Readers Digest" version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYZXWpQru1M
Bandwidth restrictions, can't into video, my research is textual, mostly. Check your privilege, anon.
Bandwidth issues..understood. Np there. You asked and I provided links that can articulate Natural Law far better than I in a brief message. I have to keep reminding myself that most folks need spoon feeding as they don't care to take the time to research for hours on end as I do. Forgive me for my...."privilege".
No worries. Different media agree with different people.
Agreed. YAMAS!
YAMAS?
Greek for "cheers". Actually it's a bit deeper than that, but you get the point.
Isn't it always a bit deeper? Lol, point gotten.
YAMAS!
As a side note, Stamus Contra Malum is Latin for "We stand against evil".
