High need work

Well done Rabbi!
First of all, thank you for all the podcasts you’ve participated in recently. Waiting and teaching as always.
The rabbi often says that it is impossible for a person’s morality to be the goal of choice, because morality is aimed at creating a good society, and if that were the reason, there would be no need to create a society and in any case it would not have to be moral. In short, the rabbi believes that work is a high necessity.

I don’t understand high need, of course, but why don’t you think it’s appropriate to say that a moral society in itself is a high need – it’s very possible that there’s some satisfaction in throwing people with choice into a problematic world and having them choose of their own accord to create a moral model society, when you add to that the belief-insight that the source of morality is divine. This could even be appropriate (?) for high need work.
I would appreciate your response.

I have been asked this here more than once. It is unlikely that there is another purpose for that moral command. And even if there was, it is for the correction of man himself and a bear cannot be an explanation for his creation. Beyond that, we should have been told that too. And finally, tradition brings us a revelation in which other purposes are set.
