Philosophy teaches people about kindness and good
behavior. For centuries, philosophers upgraded moral
values in order to improve social relations, which in turn
contributed towards the advancement of humankind. Yet, in
spite of that, blood was shed and evil was done.
Feeling of shame, as a protector against greater evils,
helped significantly the rule of kindness. Shame is a feeling
that should be striven for in order to control negative
behavior. Perceiving bad actions or bad social relations
causes feeling of shame and motivates a person to further
their knowledge. Righteousness, or what it is supposed to
be, gives strength to enlighten people in order to uplift
society.
So far, serenity used to be the opposite of anxiety.
Nowadays, a great many people are more anxious than
serene. But a person should strive to find solutions and
ways to restore serenity. People should seek for pleasures
and by achieving them they will be liberated from both
physical and spiritual suffering.
An impartial approach is necessary when considering and
analyzing the real state of the persistent problems in society
