Morality: A Human Construct Versus Nature's Survival Instinct

I came across some comments on this thread.

One comment by an elder particularly caught my attention:

Vile nmekaa kwa hii dunia, I’m starting to see morality is not an inherent part of nature but a construct created by humans to maintain order within society. In the natural world, actions are driven by the instinct to survive rather than by concepts of right or wrong. It implies that morality is a societal tool, while nature operates on principles like self-preservation and survival of the fittest.
