What Is Hume's Argument That Morality Is Sentiment

I agree with Hume's argument, “morality is sentiment”, because sometimes, my feelings impact my actions and my attitudes.

We can understand someone's action in the view of Hume's but we cannot justify his or her action.
When I compare Hume's and Rousseau's, Rousseau's point toward morality is persuasive to me because as Rousseau claims that human nature is basically good and pure, but the society makes people selfish, greedy and pride causes problems.
Hobbes believes that people are born bad, selfish and greedy. I don't agree with Hobbes because babies are not bad as many had mentioned in another discussion.
