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
