Human beings ought to be humble and humane. Love and sympathy
should exude from their behaviour. Selflessness and altruism
should deck their personalities. They should adhere to honesty
even if it has perilous outcomes. They should abide by the
truth even if it is against their interests. Kindness should
be their hallmark and should not only extend to their own
fraternity but to animals and plants too. Forgiveness should
be their motto and compassion should be their second nature.
Their countenance should be pleasant and their mannerisms
gracious. Sincerity should be writ large in all their
undertakings. Their lives should be governed by
self-discipline. People should be able to depend on them when
times are bleak. Sharing their blessings should come naturally
to them. Whenever the feeling of deprivation overcomes them,
the gushing fountain of gratitude drenches them. Patience
should be their bedrock in times of adversity. Positive
thinking must never leave them even when the sailing is rough.
They should refuse to lose but at the same time see the hand
of God in failures. The quest for truth should be the most
cherished enterprise for them. The thirst to acquire wisdom
should possess them until their very last breath. They must be
just even to their enemies. Contentment should be their
permanent companion. Their strong connection with God should
continue to give them the courage to bear persecution for the
sake of righteousness. If they can live and die for others
they would be humans par excellence. |
