Freedom and dignity are interdependent. If self-respect is
oppressed, then freedom is just demagoguery.
Freedom is a broad notion and should be analyzed in great detail
in order to purge it from the current demagoguery.
Freedom, justice, piece and serenity can only be achieved in the
whole.
Solidarity, unity of thought and common interest can only be
achieved in the whole.
Compassion is deep awareness of the suffering of another. It is
particularly intensive towards the immediate family. If it includes
those who are distant as well, it will be a powerful protector
against evil.
Ownership and strife for personal material wealth will become
obsolete. This will be the result of the higher common goal of the
whole.
Successful ideas can be implemented in practice only in the
whole which is organized and has a common goal.
Human ambition is the driving force for the development of a
society. Negative ambitions put humanity in jeopardy and create
evil. Positive ambitions are beneficial to the common well-being.
