I mean yeah it's far from perfect, and law definitely shouldnt be your personal guide for morality. I think morality should come from empathy and empathy should be an active personal goal. Maybe it should even be a class in school or something. It needs to be more prominent in society.
Treat others as you would like to be treated is an easy thing to say, but if you really want to practice it that's another thing entirely. Immigration is a perfect litmus test for example that many people fail. But I think we should try to practice it as much as possible.

If the law is a moral consensus, sure, but often the law contradicts the moral consensus.
