I don't understand your answer in the context of my post.
Given that immoral behavior always leads to undesirable consequences, and in the absence of others willing or forced to shoulder the consequences of the immoral behavior, humans, out of the need for survival, will choose the path that leads to more desirable outcomes.
In short, reward good behavior, punish bad behavior.
