Question

1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Moral values are the highest among all natural values. Goodness, purity,
truthfulness and humility of man rank higher than genius, brilliancy, exuberant vitality
than the beauty of nature or of art, then the stability and power of a state. What is realized
and what shines forth in an act of real forgiveness, in a noble and generous renunciation,
in a burning and selfless love is more significant and morale noble, more important and
more eternal than all cultural values. Positive moral values are the focus of the world
negative moral values the greatest evil, worse than suffering, sickness, death or the
disintegration of a flourishing culture.
This face was recognized by the great minds such as Socrates or Plato who
continually repeated that it is better to suffer injustice than to commit it. This pre
eminence of the moral sphere is above all, a basic proposition of the Christian ethos.
Moral values are always personal values. They can only inhere in man and be realized by
man. A material thing, like a stone or a house cannot be morally good or bad, just as moral
goodness is not possible to a tree or a dog. Similarly works of the human mind
(discoveries, scientific books, works of arts) cannot properly be said to be the bearers of
moral values. They cannot be faithful, humble and loving.
They can most at the indirectly reflect these values and bearing the imprint of the
human mind. Man alone as a free being is responsible for his actions and attitudes, for his
will and striving, his love and his hatred, his joy and his sorrow, and his super actual basic
attitudes can be morally good or bad. Far, far above his cultural achievements rises the
importance of the man's own being, a personality - radiating moral values, a man who is
humble, pure, truthful, honest and loving.
But how can man participate in these moral values ? Are they given to him by
nature, like the beauty of his face, his intelligence or a lovely temperament ? No, they can
only grow out of conscious, free attitudes man himself must essentially cooperate for their
realization.
