A brief thought on morality

The more moral and political philosophy I read, the more I think that morality, more often that not, is detrimental to well-being. It tries to restructure some relationship of concern, finding displeasure in the fact that it, like nearly all human relationships, is a game, or series of games, of partial-conflict. The restructuring seems to always be an attempt to reduce whatever harm one one party causes to another by securing a benefit from interaction. The restructuring usually takes the form of changing the game of partial-conflict to one of positive-sum. The reason this is detrimental to well-being is that games of partial-conflict tend to have much higher net payoffs than positive-sum games. To put it in plain language, society is better off when one party, in part, exploits another.

ONE MORE THOUGHT: Put differently, moral value undermines well-being by undermining economic value.
