Man is Human by Nature
Humanness is attributed to the possession of the qualities of thinking ability, interaction, care for others, sense of feeling and attachment, etc. Humanity as a whole refers to people having all these qualities.
So, humanity is a synonym for a collection of people with all these human attributes of love, care, reasoning power, emotions, social activity and interaction, morality, etc.
Morality is generally meant to refer to the good character of human beings. Generally, we refer to a person as moral if he possesses all those good qualities such as honesty, sympathy, love, kindness, chastity, etc. And, a person is immoral if he does not have these qualities.
But, a logical definition of morality does not refer to his being good or bad.
It refers to the character of an individual in a society.

Man lives not alone but in a company. There are so many people around him and he can not ignore them. He needs to interact with them very frequently. He can't live alone without others. Neither can he restrain from the action.

But, right to freedom is not for you alone. It applies as equally to all.
