There is no need to define morality, let a man be simply compassionate. This sentence expresses the
basic essence of morality, the extent to which it relies on compassion for its definition. For when we
think about it, is not the truly human feeling of compassion the basis of all morality?
2. Morality rests for its very meaning on the concepts of 'good' and 'bad' where 'good' refers to all
thoughts and deeds that do not aim at or accomplish any harm or injury or do not involve an attempt to
inflict suffering on others. Thus morality is based on man's ability to understand, being able to
sympathize, feel kindness and sorrow for, and identify himself with the sufferings of his fellow men. So,
only compassion can give rise to oral thoughts and feelings.
3. Depriving a person of what is his or what must belong to him - what is called stealing - for selfish ends,
taunting or insulting others through words or actions for self - gratification, violence - expressed verbally
or as acts of torture, killing, etc. - for the sake of violence contradict morality as well as an inner feeling
of kindness and compassion.
4. When we talk about social morality of any kind, what comes into play is our ability to feel for the
well-being of a society. A certain moral code of conduct is ultimately necessary to ensure that the
society does not fall prey to degeneration of values, which would lead to rampant suffering and ultimately
chaos. It is a concern to help the society by safeguarding it from unwanted ills and malaises and ensuring
its well being. Society's concerns are our concerns; anything capable of causing a detrimental impact on
it in the short term or in course of time is ultimately bound to affect us and our children.
5. There is the need to realise that man must continue to feel compassion for the sake of himself as well as
society. But like any other human trait, compassion ought to be continually exercised if it is to remain a
dornmant force. Unfortunately, in modern society what we witness is the complete lack of kindness and
sympathy between fellow beings. One can only shake one's head and say that just like other cherished
values even compassion is getting eroded in the hustle and bustle of the mechanical existence of these
times. What remains is material values that look only towards immediate personal gains and in the
process rid man of whatever 'humanness' is left to him.
