First off I have never heard anyone refer to ???? as a process. You be refering to Mesorah, but not a process. Furthermore, the difference between morality halachah is quite simple. Halachah doesnt change yet morality can. In a non GOD system morality can be a moving target. Take abortion, one decade it was considered immoral and the next decade it wasnt. Take the nazis yms”m. They were able to kill yidden on a daily basis, yet when they got home at night, they were able to kiss their kids good night and sleep peacefully. In a non GOD system: in a democracy, society dictates what is moral and what isn’t. In a dictatorship, the dictator decides what is moral. In a GOD system where there is halachah, it remains a constant. The reason we respect our parents is because the torah says so and not because society says that is the moral thing to do. ????.
