Erosion of humanity
Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all times
very wisely said: ‘Try not to become a man of success but a man of values.’ Ethics and values are the hallmark of
character. Character cannot be conceived of without them. The way there can be
no light without the sun, similarly, there can be no character without ethics
and values. All great men and women of all times and in all climes have been
role models of character for all of us. Each one of them stood for certain
values. These icons of success embodied in themselves values that form a real
character. They were men and women who displayed unparalleled perseverance,
dedication, single-minded focus, and commitment. They were hard workers, who courted success
with their heart, body, mind, and soul. Success made them go through many
painful ordeals before she consented to them.
However, in the modern times, high morals, values, and
ethics seem to have been eroded pathetically. The canker that has undermined
the strength of human values is materialism. The morals have gone so down that
prime purpose of man's existence is pecuniary pursuits. Man has stooped so low
that he sacrifices even the most sacred relations for the sake of material
gains. Gone are the days of brotherly, sisterly, fatherly, or motherly love.
Man can break all ties of love and respect for the sake of money and property!
All ethics, etiquette, decency, and decorum have gone to dogs. Life has become
merely trade, commerce and profit earning. So wherever man finds some financial
gain or advantage, he honors those relations. The rest is least said the
better!
So, if we are planning to be men and women of character, we must make our value system very strong and ethics impregnable. We must learn the art of overcoming meanness, selfishness, greediness and other carnal temptations. Our nation and world need some real men and women of character to put the world in order.
