Institutions of Value Systems
Having a system of values is very important for ones personality
development in life as it is those which help to nurture basic ethics,
principles and values that one needs to really know in life.
Since the time when the human child becomes conscious of the
outer world, he assimilates a number of influences and impressions
which go in forming his life's general philosophy. The society is
such a machinery which instills and teaches a lot of social
principles & human values. Such intrinsic human values and moral
principles always show their presence in our mind. They subtly
influence us. Our life's activities can cause great mental conflict in
us when they go against our own acquired value-systems. Such
contrasting activities or actions in life shatter our whole-being and
weaken our will-power and spiritual forces. Therefore the journey
to greatness must be in conformity with the general moral
principles of life. Any violation to our own preset value-systems
lowers our dignity in our own eyes and we suffer a psychological
fragmentation.
Life finds a greater expression when the moral force of an
individual keeps in line with his activities and life's missions. A
life lived within the limitations of self interests may not draw upon
moral strength, But events of greater dimensions necessitate
greater force. Similarly, the lowly thoughts of human mind
revolving around a single individual may go without the
endorsements of moral values but a powerful thought can never
assume its revolutionary and ennobling potentialities unless it is
accompanied by a right moral attitude. The more are we restricted
in setting the goals of life, the lesser becomes the need for moral
evolution. But inculcating a moral value system in life opens the
petals of all other divine virtues.
The institutions of value systems are hence very important in life
and one hence needs to necessarily tend to these systems in order
to develop their personality etc.
