I agree that these are different things. I also agree that they are hard to define. I fail to see why that should be a reason not to attempt it. I strongly disagree that our laws are arbitrary. They are very much inspired by, sometimes even directly derived from what philosophers thought about fairness and freedom.
I also want to point out that what both of us do here is having a philosophical argument about moral code. It's not a new one, you can find related stances to your own one with respect to morality in Nietzsche, and with respect to meaning of terms and futility of discussion in Wittgenstein. But this is not the whole picture, other philosophers have already reacted to them and advanced the discussion. Like in other areas of knowledge, you better do thorough research first, otherwise you just reinvent the wheel.
