Why do we need to revive these values?


Although we need to keep up with the pace of change of the generation today, to be traditional does not mean to be old-fashioned. Keeping these values alive in ourselves helps us to assess how much of a person we have become that is if we have lived a fruitful life. As we work for the greater good, we build happiness for ourselves and others. The more we do for other people, the more the path of our own happiness will open up. In realizing this, we discover a sense of gratitude in being able to help them.
