Does Moral Behavior Lead to a Good Life?
Do the predominant morals in your society lead to a good life? Should they? What kind of morals would lead to a good life? Lastly, what do you mean by "good life"?

Depends on who's morals, what morals, what they're based on, and intent and motive. It basically boils down to using common sense to navigate cause & effect and action & reaction.

What do you mean by "good"? If you mean "happy", morality may or may not be the way to go.

Maybe not. In order to live comfortably and not have to worry about whether i will have a house and car tomorrow i may have to charge more than i need to for survival in order to consult my clients. Is that unfair? Am i immoral for having an ambition to earn more money than i should be earning in order to expand a business?
Is it moral to want money? Most people will say no its greedy, but you have to put food on the table somehow.

No, not necessarily. Some people who have limited morals have been very happy.

Morals or not leads to the life that we choose or the life that is given to us by chance.

Morals naturally come about as a way to allow society to interact with minimal conflict. If everyone were to follow the morals of their society then a good life would be much easier to obtain and might even allow everyone to live a good life.
