ETHICS
AND VALUES |
|
Our conscience is probably the greatest factors segregating us from our fellow creatures. A sense of right and wrong, moral t conveniences. Since time immemorial, we've been a rule bound race. But its another matter altogether that such laws have often remained time and culture specific. Ethics It is said that evolution is as much of a biological issue as it is an ethical one: the higher you are on the evolutionary ladder, the more important become concepts of right and wrong. In fact, what sets Man apart from animals is a heightened sense of ethical and moral value-be it in the soothing realm of the family or the rapidly competitive world of work. Forgiveness To forgive everyone and everything including yourself is taking a step nearer to enlightenment and the ultimate peace of mind. To forgive, the masters would have us believe, is the best gift you can give yourself. Peace The world is increasingly getting aggressive. Despite millennia of religion, civilization and culture, peace among people and nations remains elusive. But for the future of humanity, peace deserves a chance. Tolerance As a natural state of mind, tolerance indicates an ability to coexist with others, to respect alternative points of view, to neither dominate nor be dominated. It suggests both the ability to be yourself as well as allow others that freedom. It is both sturdy individuality and acceptance of other points of view. |
