Human values are closely integrated
with human life. They are intertwined with our day to day chores. No human life
is possible without values. Yes every living human being lives by certain
values. It is only the proportion and combination of negative and positive
values which separates a noble human being from a not so noble human being.
The positive values are Honesty,
Compassion, Integrity, Forgiveness, Love, Knowledge, Discipline, Faith, and
Leadership. The negative values like prejudice, hatred, greed, selfishness, and
others need not be discussed here.
Every human being is born neutral and
is like a clean slate and no mindset. How much of virtues and vices are filled
in depends solely on the parents, teachers, circumstances, environment, and
sometimes even geographic location.
However everyone can be inculcated
with human values by the parents, teachers, friends, well wishers and even
strangers. Self education of human values is also possible by meeting,
learning, and reading about, great individuals living a holistic life. This
article includes a video which consists of highly enlightened conversation
between two highly respected human beings and noble laureates.
Which is also a
good source of learning and inculcating human values?
Broadly there are three types of human
beings in existence in reference to human values
The first kind is the ones who think,
what rightfully belongs to others, is other’s property, and even what belongs
to them is also meant for others. An attitude of supreme sacrifice and
renunciation, these human beings are closer to divinity than humanity.
The second kind is the one that
thinks, what belongs to others is other’s property, but what belongs to them is
their sole property and theirs by right. These classes of humans are more of
human and less of divine, but they are of no harm to the society. they are very
close to being perfect human beings.
The third type is the one which think
that whatever exists on this planet belongs to them and they should get it by
means fair or foul. These types of people are one with the least human values
and they are a danger to the society.
The Inculcation of human values is a
process that aims to take a person to the second stage, so that a person can
lead a normal life with virtuous human values and continuously emancipate and
elevate himself from that level and steadily proceed towards the first level.
