Law Of Moral Source #6
Morality is neither Subjective nor Objective, it reveals it's self over time as we evolve as human beings. Morality does not evolve, we do. Morality is simply right and wrong, the claim it as subjective is to promote brands of proclaimed morality that support things such as rape. (Indirectly but surely) Promoting morality in an objective form is to claim that we as humans are evolved enough to come to see every right and wrong as if instinct, the flaw here is ego. The mind can not evolve without a death of ego. In Short the true morality is one that reveals it's self over time.
What is the source of virtue?

What is the source of virtue?
Where does hydrogen come from? Virtue comes from the universally agreeable concepts of what is good within humanity as well as the rest of the world's creatures. (Search for morality in the animal kingdom). As we are born with a sense of awe and wonder installed into us, it is that awe that allows us to identify virtues, and it is that wonder that feeds the progression of everything that leads to finding more. Finding more, in the end simply leads to more being revealed.

Virtue is therefore subjective, from your definition. The majority might fit into the universal statement, but there will always be those that don't and therefore have a different definition.

"The introduction of CSV suggests that these six virtues are considered good by the vast majority of cultures and throughout history and that these traits lead to increased happiness when practiced. Notwithstanding numerous cautions and caveats, this suggestion of universality hints that in addition to trying to broaden the scope of psychological research to include mental wellness, the leaders of the positive psychology movement are challenging moral relativism and suggesting that virtue has a biological basis.[1]...

"...Each of the twenty-four character traits is defined behaviorally, with psychometric evidence demonstrating that it can be reliably measured.[2] The book shows that "empirically minded humanists can measure character strengths and virtues in a rigorous scientific manner. [2]"

Really hard to argue universal morality when you include the catch all; some people just don't have it?

Really depends on the universe of discourse; individuals, not people per se.

All the individuals lacking the morality may be claimed not to be people due to lacking some other criteria.

No, not at all. Like I said morality does not evolve, we evolve. Before the world was considered to be an orb rather than flat and circular, what shape was the world? Oddly enough if you look up "Flat earth Society" you'll find that still even today some believe that the world is flat. However does this here make the shape of the world subjective? No, the world's shape is what it is, no amount of belief can change that.

You seem to be in the need of an ego death LOL, read what I said carefully.
