Is there any argument for ethics and morality? I completely

Social contract theory

Or the whole God thing

Pick your poison

Pic reminds me of this japanese-enthusiast girl I see on the bus sometimes. I think she was smiling at me, sometimes looking at me briefly, but I didn't make a point of showing she'd caught my attention. Should I talk to her next time, "out of nowhere", or is that morally inadequate?

Literally what I said, do good to others if it does good to you. Do not do bad things or you go to jail.

I believe in God and that's why I have ethics, but using it as an argument is like saying that all countries should have open borders because everyone is human, and we should live in a communist world because it is unfair that there are people with more money than others.

>Is there any argument for ethics and morality?
Yes, there's a number of major schools, aristotelian-thomists, Burke style classical conservative liberals, lockean liberals, kantians, utilitarians, consequentialists, stoics, platonists etc.
>I completely despise nihilists...to be my friends, therefore making me enjoy our conversations for longer. But if I realize that doing good to someone won't make me happier, than I won't do it.
Good is not a concept everyone defines in the same way. Good, justice, rationality, happiness only exist as parts of traditions which define them.
These traditions are essentially a priori positions through which we define ourselves and our meaning within a certain society.

I understand that when you're a bit slow, saying that the sky is definitely blue is a bit like saying that the Spanish Inquisition wasn't such a bad thing after all, or that slight variations in the climate are a bit like the cigarette ashes in your clothes, but sometimes you have to see that you're hallucinating a bit. Which is hard, because you have to see it with the same gear that makes you hallucinate in the first place. Now, is God a Marxist?

Who cares if altruism is selfish? It's still altruism. You're still doing something good. Sounds like a win-win to me.

This desu. No one is ever going to call you a monster for getting a warm feeling from helping others. I get that you could never really justify it, but if you feel great helping others and others get helped, just do it.
