Activities in this planet are varied and many are the ways by which evolution is processed.
Equal possibilities are not available
to everyone but, above all, what really matters is to dignify the meaning of
life, even though engaged in the roughest, humblest jobs.
Social morals are characterised by high
spiritual values, uncompromising support of sound behaviour, and effective
exercise of healthy habits.
Each people has its own concept of
life. But the further we proceed, the more we advance on the road to
civilisation, the safer, the stronger the precepts of morals and honour prove
to be. This applies especially to the home, the formation of which is - an
indeclinable duty of every citizen, as explained in Chapter XIV which deals
with the family.
In adulthood, when man is already
prepared to be his own guide, he should collect the greatest possible amount of
experience through observation and the witnessing of events around him or of
which he hears.
Success or failure of others, the
causes of their joys or sorrows, are valuable lessons. Everyone should benefit
from such examples in order to avoid incurring the same mistakes which caused
pain and loss to others, and to take the same roads that led others to success
and well-being.
If man feels debased in the eyes of his
fellow-men, by doing something which reveals lack of morals or good principles,
the more so would he feel is his spiritual awareness were alert and watchful to
appreciate and analyse the extent of wrongful actions.
The existence of various social levels
on Earth is partly justified not only by the fact that is a school-world but
also by shortcomings in the education of its inhabitants.
An individual who is inadequately
brought up restricts his field of action to the level in which he lives, and
becomes undesirable in the higher levels of upbringing. Hence the need for man
to spare no efforts to improve his social conditions, thus helping to raise the
degree of morals in our planet.
