A link to spirituality – through “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette”
All credit towards inspiration to this script goes to my beloved wife - Usha Sailes
Curtains up for spotlight on Ethics! “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” is back in the limelight with a concept of eternal dimension, eternal value and with potential to establish focused living. “Ethics”, the lifeline for a dignified existence, the prime mover for a noble campaign and the motivating machinery for a vertical ascent to a resounding success, fame, reputation or popularity both individually and collectively and having the clout to thwart any attempt to distort conscious approach to single-mindedly achieving a goal is back in the reckoning.
However, the search continues for purposes of identifying areas, people and passages to enable the shine of “Ethics” permeate gracefully in to minds and hearts of people so as to set the clock back to the first day of creation plus the advancement, when man had no inkling as to what havoc evil could wreak on innocent human beings, how it could corrode human life and its values and the repercussions of bypassing the one sublime element called “Ethics”. Ethics, the invincible beam of a beacon capable of dispelling eternal darkness from engulfing the universe needs to be brought back to a position of status quo of the early stage of man, when vices were scarcer than virtues.
Divine attributes like sanctity of life, moral ethos, norms and standards which were infused in to a world of calm and sedate human beings have, by and large, disintegrated in to a state of disarray. Morality, the basic concept for decency and decorum of life, has lost its influence over human passions and instincts. The moral wisdom profusely inculcated in to young and old alike within the four walls of a family concept, have diminished beyond levels of human redemption. At this stage the universe cannot possibly duck to bypass a world of turmoil that is likely to descend on human existence in the form of a beginning of an eternal end namely the end of the world and the final judgment! The new shine under the lifeline “Ethics” must precede the darkening end which would positively light up eternal bliss! And ethics is here to manifest its power, its glitter and proficiency to deal with a new age of rattling daylight and sleepless night, which must in all likelihood culminate in a supreme command by the Creator “Let there be eternal light”.
Ethics is here with a decisive purpose viz. firstly; to project confidence building measures capable of boosting prospects for a vertical ascend by people of all categories, profession, status or standing in the society. Secondly, to revolutionize the existing methodology adopted by one and all in their respective areas for attaining a resounding success, fame, reputation or popularity both individually and collectively. Thirdly, to guide, transform or counsel a world of humanity with necessary support for taking the world along progressive lines. Fourthly, to reform the misguided or wayward millions whose focus has been demoralized or shifted to abiding by their instinct only rather than their prudence, judiciousness and intelligence. And fifthly, to ‘big bang’ a competition upholding the new concept in to the society, namely “Si isti et ille, cur non ego?” [If he or she can (be good), why can’t I?]
Ethics is a retreat, a contemplation, a resolution and a thanksgiving to glorify the redeemer and Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ for His supreme act of redemption which enabled billions and billions of souls to gaze at the light of truth (read Christianity), even as the Day of Judgment hovers over a world gradually decaying and drifting in to a catastrophe called sin and hell.
A red light caution to all readers! Christians around the world are amply aware and profess with conviction regarding the “Day of Judgment” or the end of the world that must come about sooner or later. Incidentally, save for Hinduism which group while being ignorant of the inspired truth, refuses to accept the hollowness of their own belief namely “rebirth”, whereas the followers of every other religion have been rightly admonished by its founders about the likely end of creation, the exact date of which is unknown to humanity. Incidentally, Hinduism has stepped on to a warpath to persecute, kill or maim innocent Christians or Muslims for practicing or propagating what they believe is right and the only truth about aftermath of this life ever to have been inspired by Almighty. It needs to be emphasized that the entire humanity must one day acknowledge and submit to divine will to be each judged according to his merit. Hinduism has been adamant to the extent of arrogantly proclaiming an illusionary concept called ‘rebirth’ and even preventing the elite children of God from shedding light on truth and spreading the true message of God to the rest of the world. These ignorant elements have demonstrated the might of evil by persecuting the elite children of God and even stamping on to or trampling underfoot the very sanctum sanctorum of eternal sacrifice.
Awake all – awake now – awake in unison to that new dawn fast beckoning the penultimate day to a finale of this endless universe! It is time we set aside our casual approach to this frightening end. Jesus Christ Himself warned of all the soul splitting, mind shattering and spine chilling developments which portend the end of the world and the final judgment. Even the inspired scriptures forming an integral part of the Holy Bible convey repeatedly the same theme so that mankind and in particular the elite children of God at all times stay prepared to face the end or the “Judgment Day” because there will only be one end to what has begun as life and death. It is high time that humanity and the entire world stood up prepared to face the Creator by defeating the nefarious designs of Satan so as to clinch that supreme grace to partake of the salvation for which Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself on the Cross on mount Calvary
St. Luke
21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars and upon the earth distress of nations by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves.
21:26 Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.
Howsoever one might twist or suppress facts the reality in regard to Judgment Day can never be altered. Even as the D-day for the end of the world draws near there would be flabbergasting disasters of unbelievable and unfathomable dimensions. Imagine for a moment when electric light goes off and one is stuck up unable to follow up with the kind of chores he or she may have in hand or may have been preparing for. The end of the world or the “Judgment Day” has more than the pain, anguish and despair that human mind might contemplate of.
The unexpected darkness would send people haywire and all activities would get disrupted abruptly. People would patiently wait in expectation of light returning to their delight. However, the wait would be in vain. Jesus Christ warned His followers “And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be moved. Mathew 24:29]. The end of the universe can be frightening, horrifying, scaring, demoralizing but above all they could mean a renewed test to one’s integrity.
Hunger and thirst would not only pinch our ego but our body as well while our organs would get parched dry and barren. Wailing of children and cries by people both people young and old would rent the air and benumb the darkness. Down pour with devastating storms and earthquakes would bring about break down of all human infrastructure, instruments and appliances. Catastrophic clash and break up of heavenly bodies would bring about an eerie suspense of fear and panic in to the veins of human beings. The entire universe would have been deprived of light for hours, days, months and years and when the Sun refuses to shed its light, the entire universe would freeze. People would gaze in panic unable to fend for themselves, feed family and children deprived of solace and warmth unable to even breathe grace of peace and tranquility.
No way to comprehend as to what all lie in store for hapless human beings who would survive to perish on the last day. One may sum up the catastrophe in terms of worldly terror which might as well be contained but celestial rocking can rattle even devils in hell. “For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, and they shall show signs and wonders to seduce (if it were possible) even the select” Mark 13:22. Ethics alone can make one immune to panic, disasters, loss of equilibrium of mind, body and soul. Ethics would provide solace to the elite whose trust in God and warmth of love for the Creator would kindle hope within. A virtuous hope that can lavish fortitude and forbearance to both weak and the strong to persevere in their endeavor to be steadfast in faith in the one only Supreme Being God.
The deviation in the mind-set of people, their attitude, interaction or one to one relation got marred due to each applying a rule or law of his own. There is a tendency among people to assert one’s point of view to hammer out a solution and where some sort of hurdle prop up, the solution is extricated through vile means viz. by applying a law of his own. This mode of deviation from the laid down norms have brought about a change in attitude of people and society. A quick glance at the Bible would show how unbridled elements or individuals could move away from the laid down common path to coming by an acceptable solution.
The following passage is taken from the inspired Holy Bible written by St. John
The Jews answered him: We have a law and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
Ethics can make people consistent in their endeavor to stand by the light of truth. Even as the end nears a culmination, billions of miserable human beings would shriek and curse God unable to resist panic gripping their minds or to act right for themselves or for others. Satan would make dexterous move with utmost freedom to prey on unfortunate victims. But the believers would have the torch of “Faith, Hope and Charity” under the symbol of “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” providing solace and hope to the dead and dying humanity. Those who with alertness abide by a life of ethics when the sun is still shining over their sunny days and also heed the advice of sanity by holding aloft the torch of “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” would see light of wisdom chiming out of heavens on the last day, very much to the consolation of the elite human beings viz. “Let there be eternal light”.
“Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” are traits which render man a specie apart from all other living creatures roaming the earth or hovering the skies since past many billion years. Although the three characteristics merely complement each other, yet what goes a long way in moulding a person in to an upright man in the eye of society, as also the single aspect which prominently distinguishes a person as extraordinary from other human beings is “Ethics”.
When a topic of paramount importance like ‘Ethics, Manners & Etiquette’ is tossed on to the readers’ arena people seldom take notice of it, no eye-brows are raised and little would it steer people’s conscience. Quite elementary though! Naturally, the topic hardly deserves to be contemplated upon given the advanced stage of human pestilence, wrecked mentality, clash of personalities and the egocentric arrogance within people of all ages all round the globe. Even though ethics or moral philosophy carry immense weight for people and society of the present day world but people have little or no time to dwell on these vague topics which make no promise of a return what to speak of a gainful lead.
Moreover, what potential do these vague formalities of “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” have within them to offer for providing the right value to wrong people who just cannot wait on ceremonies and formalities of decency in their daily lives? In a world thronging with people of base indecencies surging ahead to make a mark of their own for personal gain, that too within the meager resources at their disposal, one hardly feels the need to stand on ceremonies except to try and gain as much lead ahead of others and come atop somewhere at the fag end of one’s life. Needless to mention “Ethics, Manners and Etiquette” alone can provide the right platform to a beleaguered world of hapless humans for broadening their overall perspective on first things first.
Excellence has substitutes in plenty. Call it by any name, like say state of transcendence, spirituality, eminence or perfection for the sake of expression only. In fact, there would be no dearth of such appalling list.
Abstruse, intricate and incomprehensible expressions linked to human behavior and everyday life invariably pose awkward moments for writers and philosophers alike, where providing sense to an anatomy of behavior or activity by people at given circumstance or in a particular state of mind or to portray the level of behavior by people with accuracy and focus become cumbersome, if not impossible. Even if it be so, the safest stretch to which one might possibly have recourse to is the language of exaggeration. However, human aptitude is never static unless of course one were to work things out with the assistance of robots in which case the outcome might well be considered machine made. But to speak in terms of human beings and general attitude or behavior of people, the geometry of excellence would invariably require a fresh format, an advanced measuring apparatus or say, a new spiritual leaning called conviction. And when it is a question of qualifying the ultimate of excellence in which a human relation or expression needs to be transformed in to, in such an event there is need to borrow a spiritual leaning as envisaged in the body-soul relation namely spirituality.
Spirituality per se is clubbed under excellence for the sake of human depiction only. Such an expression gives birth to a new culture as well, a deemed morale, an excellence in human philosophy which may be reflected in a new cryptogram that can conveniently be categorized as “Ethics”. Literally speaking, ethics has no substitute. Ethics or moral philosophy as may be conveniently worded, craves for no guarantee, no standards and no emotional appeal either. It is the outcome of cumulative excellence. It is a mould of its own with infinite dimensions capable of accommodating an unending stream of unblemished concepts. When all such concepts are described as culmination of excellence then such a collective excellence gives precedence to a supreme concept which, for convenience sake, ordinary human beings relate to as “Ethics”. Ethics is thus a class apart from the totality of human virtues. Ethics is a moral philosophy modeled on the basis of human psychology and human relationship having an eternal concept, molded to suit human life and finite beings.
Precisely speaking ethics includes an array of virtues and virtuous excellence all of which qualify spirituality. Thus, ethics being a vast topic of universal worth has a wider range, a larger perspective and hosts of innumerable concepts to embellish it in form and feature but nowhere has it a substitute to appear below sacred. Nay, rather ethics has record number of qualifying values and an endless stretch of excellent traits to make it a gateway to transcendence.
A close study of ethics or moral philosophy, as may be termed for human depiction, would reveal that this sublime trait occupies a level bordering finite and infinite realm of human behavior. Finiteness of human expression invariably falls short of the required level, accuracy and focus. Naturally, human expression or articulation would fail to provide appropriate standard for this excellent trait for purposes of distinguishing its core essence or standard to which ethics relate to. But when it is a question of qualifying this golden concept which occupies a position among the ultimate of best or the excellent trait, such an expression would need to borrow a leaning from the angelic virtues which in human expression would be counted among the golden attributes of heavenly merits namely instinct, intelligence, intuition, inspiration and conviction.
Those who, by dint of honesty and hard work, aspire to attain excellence through utilization of their golden traits namely instinct, intelligence, intuition, inspiration and conviction would manage to reap a yield by close of the day and would have the world hearkening to them to live life with élan. The quote by Franz Grillparzer sums it all “The graceful flowers of innocence are more valuable than the laurel crown of fame”.
Ethics caters to building up a language of rapport. It functions in the form of a formal dialect, a piece of spirituality and a refined instinct which enables or facilitates communication among people to their mutual advantage. As a matter of fact, it not only facilitates, rather it even advances one’s goal to its logical end. “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” caters to achieving multiplicity of fortunes.
Down through the centuries, society, human beings and their mode of behavior, communication or interaction got diluted with aggressiveness picking up speed in the thought process, mood, design, talk or action of people and nations on a very provocative scale. A climb down from such mode of rhetoric alone can create an atmosphere conducive to collective progress lest it encounter decisive walls which could ignite massive conflagration that could be difficult to douse. “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” under the present piece concept namely “Ethics” undertakes to promote the only viable solution to an impregnable fortress which could otherwise bar human advancement through a virtuous life.
Ethics essentially conforms to spiritual qualities of mind, righteous aspirations of body and possessive features of soul. It has sophisticated notions capable of mediating or intermingling with human beings of all categories, whether they be of enhanced spirituality, moderate ebb or even those whose level of human relation has fallen to irredeemable depths of despair and depression. Ethics is that unique culture which if inculcated in to human beings of every class, category, profession or faith can boost the sagging fortunes of everyone irrespective of his standing in the society or his grade of spirituality.
Ethics is the lone virtue having superiority in excellence capable of transforming inferior culture in to superior excellence and competent to communicate with body, soul and divinity.
Ethics is the soul of man’s intellect. Ethics is the colour of every dark spell. Ethics is the shrill of every stifled yell. Ethics is energy to numbness. Ethics is truth behind every falsehood. Ethics is life that defies death. Ethics is the ornament which adorns every righteous individual and people of conviction. Ethics is alfa and ethics omega, both of which when interlinked with divinity reveals the supreme Godhead or the Omnipotence of Almighty namely God.
CONFIDENCE
In order to access the core of “Ethics” one needs to assure oneself of self-confidence within and infuse as much confidence in the audience or public around. Living by ethics would entail much involvement by way of cautious approach, a resolute stand, guarded intrusion and a mollified pace by tackling people and issues in a conducive manner so as to ensure that the thread of relation does not get snapped abruptly. To achieve such an advance, it is imperative to safeguard one’s own confidence first and then proceed to achieve the confidence and trust of the opponent or the opposite party. Confidence or trust in self and infusing it in to veins of others around are important but an uphill task. As a matter of fact, a righteous life based on morale cannot be achieved without gaining confidence in and around one’s own circle.
Life is cheap, boring and un-predictive as well. It brings along a sequence of unpredictable dawns, an avalanche of events and a huge flow of fluctuating fortunes. Life accompanies with it several stretches of thrill coupled with chilling moments of tears and tribulations. They all cascade down the tree of life in stages during the course of childhood, adolescence, youth, adulthood and old age. In short, life is awfully funny the way man views it. It is not the creator who deemed life to be so for a world of His creation. It is not life that is lifeless or found wanting as perceived by human beings on many counts. Rather it is man’s disposition which fails to meet standards. It is the result of subconscious failure within man’s inner self that compels him to adopt lackluster attitude towards self and towards others.
Creation of man was, by far, the excellent manifestation of trust reposed by God in human beings. It was divinity confiding a wholesome trust in wretched human beings who deserved neither life nor existence. But when a handful of clay is transformed in to flesh and blood with ability to breathe fragrance of love and life, it turns its back on the confidence lavished by God on such a worthless piece of earth. In order to retain the standards as conceived by divine architecture one must trust oneself and reflect the same trust within people around. Confidence in self and reflected with equal warmth in others is the primary way to outshine one’s ego to finally mould that warmth of excellence called “Ethics”.
Finiteness of expression, fluctuating fortunes of life loaded over with aggravating temperaments of man, made communication with people a demanding concept and a considerably formidable task. Incidentally, God created man but endowed him with intelligence. However, this intelligence had to be activated or manipulated by man himself. It behooved of him to act with shrewdness and tact. Unfortunately, a multitude of compulsions forced man to act cautious since the path to progress was laid out with malignant hurdles and pernicious traps, all that being the handiwork of treacherous evil. Fortunately for man, the evil pervading the universe assisted him in its own way. It boosted the confidence within and drove him to aspire for excellence. However, the time and tempo for achieving the target or goal became the criteria or the driving force from behind and it became incumbent upon man to outdo such compelling factors for achieving a desired goal.
The world moved fast and people with it. Amid the hustle and bustle of hurried pace much remained undone, some half done, an equal amount set aside to be sorted out for a later occasion while a considerable portion of life related aspects went out of human reckoning as well. The tardy pace with which the present day society evolved left much to be achieved. Even areas which were identified as requiring streamlining had to be bypassed since time did not permit for their repair to perfection. Where lacunae did come to light, they were taken care of only to the extent of allowing the pace to proceed. Areas which needed years to be taken care of were done in a matter of days, because time and world would not wait for their redemption. The same yardstick applied to matters of society, nation and social life as well. Human relation, one to one interaction and of course the people to people communication, through a period of many centuries got shattered and as of today much lie in tatters and shambles or attended to with a sense of mediocrity.
It took millions of years for man to reconcile with his own self. He had his unique instinct, temperament, tendencies and inclinations. Unlike animals which depend most on their instinct, man held on to his instinct plus namely intelligence which gave him lead over other species of creation. His innate instinct only narrowly served his wants as he had to cohabit with other human beings possessing similar instinct. This necessitated setting aside his ego and reservations about going it alone in life for pursuing his wants.
Man realized that he had to make room for a reciprocal approach since he was not alone on the planet and many others like himself, nurtured tendencies, inclinations, moods and temperaments similar to his which were at loggerheads with other human beings around him. Such a disposition brought him in to direct conflict with other human beings. He had to survive within the periphery of a barren planet which depended dearly on the tilling effect and his capacity to assert his intelligence to optimum use for his own survival. Assert he did but not without encountering a great deal of antagonism from human beings around him. The process was long and entailed waging wars and battles, unifying like minded people, segregating those who adopted different approach to life. The whole exercise more or less did a shuffling among people of diverse category, uniting the like minded and isolating those holding divergent views.
It was a total revolution that saw many a prehistoric age like Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age giving way to a modern age with man’s clout extending up to the skies from the abyss on to the zenith. It was a glorious climb by the one only intelligent creature ever to have been created on the planet namely the Earth. A prolific journey by man from a period of barbarity and turbulence ultimately stepping on to present day era of dynamism and sophistication through sheer grit and determination. After many centuries, there came about a semblance of peace, serenity and contentment.
However, human beings are victims of their own finiteness, physical infirmities, human frailties which give way to ill-timed wordings, unkempt misdemeanor and ill framed consequences of interaction among themselves. A majority of human beings who have little or nothing to project as their own become victim of vanity, arrogance and self-esteem. All through the centuries when man encountered decisive walls hampering his progress he always had his own support within him namely a go at his own confidence that he was the supreme outcome of a supreme good. That supreme virtue of excellence is what today’s world ought to hanker for but which can only be achieved by a heavily fortified mind, a fully sensitive heart and a truly devout soul.
Man invariably becomes a victim of his own falsehood. The negativity within him tends to outdo his virtues so that the forte tilts to the wrong side, namely his vices. Consequently our destined goal recedes and at one stage we find ourselves on a wrong track. We drift to far off stretches of a mid ocean only to find ourselves at fault for one or the other commission or omission. We somewhere or somehow may have neglected certain key areas which ought to have been given priority but failed to do so. Such an omission or commission might have been linked to our one to one relation, communication with people or our own social life all of which demand extra care. Those key result areas were deprived of priority or neglected casually as a result of which our destined goals started receding to background at remote areas and positions from where retrieval became arduous if not impossible. Our self confidence happens to be one primary area which may be requiring some sort of replenishment.
Lack of faith in God and our own mutilated confidence in ourselves gives rise to flaws within us. One such frailty which tends to tardy our progress is superstition.
Man has no dearth of superstitions and these, in effect, pose the greatest hurdle to his ascend. Superstitions pose a potential danger to people or society and could even affect the society, people and the world. The more we fan it, the graver its repercussions tend to be. Superstition in the long run can deprive one of the sharpness of belief, trust and confidence. Superstition can psychologically affect one’s mind leading to graver repercussions to the extent of endangering life of self or of others, directly as well as indirectly.
Elders admonish us to always start a script, passage or for that matter any work on a positive note and specifically to avoid negativity at all stages. Elders even go a step further by stating that two negatives make one positive. Then we lose sleep. What would emerge if negativity got repeated in to a triple concept? How about a triple no undoing the superstitious concept of negativity? It might then be positioned somewhere near a flat denial to superstition? This is where ethics starts. Superstition can shatter our lives and to be precise our own edifice of “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette”. Beware of superstition and breathe peace styled as “Ethics”!
Confidence can revive even the negativities of life. Be it superstition for now. Confidence would provide the necessary boost to resurrect the drooping spirits. Confidence would alert even the odd elements to shy away in to a world of “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” because it is through a spirit of confidence that man succeeded in exploring the interior of the earth and with similar confidence that he soared high up to explore the one only nearest habitable planet namely Mars.
Mars is like the volcano of vitality inside you that must be released and channeled. Mars lights up when you become filled with desire and this guides you toward your destiny. Mars influences aspects of character-related action, like endurance, persistence or discipline. These aspects with Mars in your chart may show things like how you handle frustration and conflict.
That very conflict the universe is in today and it is imperative one follow the norms of decency and righteousness. As such, never attempt to pull down people or hurt another’s ego. Remember everyone has his self respect, which if allowed to be held intact, an association would last long and one might expect a repeat of the day if not a better one to mutual advantage. A person’s gain would depend on how he deals out the bait. “Sitting still and wishing makes no person great, the Good Lord sends the fishing, but we must hook the bait”. It needs to be remembered that an opportunity gained is time saved and with ample time at one’s disposal one can secure a triumph which may even advance us nearer to each other’s goal.
It is important to keep in mind the quote by Dan Quayle where he said “If you give a person a fish, he will fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, he will fish for a lifetime”. The endeavor by “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” is that the world should carry away even one single lesson but which ought to stand in good stead for a whole lifetime.
Ethics is all about moral values, positive psyche, conscious assessment, dignified approach, broadened outlook and a host of other virtuous connotations, all comprehensively envisioned and effectively positioned with conviction and grace.
Purity of life has vanished. Man has succumbed to base instincts allowing his bodily pleasures and vane attractions to take precedence over spirit and spirituality. God and His precepts have been erased from life and the very concept of Ethics has lost its name.
Awake, take heed and act before it is too late. “Ethics” is here to inspire peace. Peace enables reconciliation with God. Reconciliation kindles hope for life to advance with better resolve. So avail the spiritual guidance through “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” and be rid of the perils of a sinful world.
Ethics is the soul of man’s intellect. Ethics is the color of every dark spell. Ethics is the shrill of every stifled yell. Ethics is energy to numbness. Ethics is truth behind every falsehood. Ethics is life that defies death. Ethics is the ornament which adorns every righteous individual and people of conviction. Ethics is alfa and ethics omega, both of which when interlinked with divinity reveals the supreme Godhead or the Omnipotence of Almighty namely God. Those who wish to secure a future must take heed, start with a life of ethics or else perish life and the universe with him.
Life is full of glee. It has everything that one might love to own, hate to part with and even things that he cannot but despise. Yet the glow of life continues to charm one and all. Has the glee anything to do with the four enchanting seasons of the year? Obviously not! They stand to supplement life but do not necessarily become an integral part of the excitement that life provides. Incidentally what makes life bloom is the inner glow of virtues that get reflected in one’s interaction with people around. That glow from within finds admirers around and its shine generates the needed joy and glamour to society and people that we mingle with. Does this glow own a name? Well, for the moment let us call it “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette”.
Unless and until that glow of life which literally relates to a life of ethics we nurture within is allowed to bloom in everyday life and unless the glow of virtues doing glee within a person is reflected around in equal measure, with equal show of prominence both in our actions and utterances, there can never be shine in life. Devoid of a shine of “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette”, life might as well mean darkness even in broad day light.
Just for a repeat of the above message, any deviation in the above cited methodology of synchronizing the glow within with the exterior around, life could get stripped of its charm. Such a disposition viz. reversing of the trend can only bring about a dusk overtaking the dawn without allowing a day of light or a life of ethics to outshine the dark void engulfing normal life which relate to human frailties, infirmities, commissions and omissions in life.
It is time we acknowledged the enduring reality of life called Ethics! Time we translated our waywardness in life with a need to transform ourselves to a life of reality, a life of Godliness with a life of Ethics?
There are areas which need repair for asserting self confidence which cannot stand tall till the anomalies of life are weeded out. One such trifle which has proximity to superstition happens to be the dependence on luck, the analysis of which would soon follow. However for now, luck has run out for “Ethics, Manners & Etiquette” to retire to a choice to end this piece.
When a topic of paramount importance like ‘Ethics, Manners & Etiquette’ is tossed on to the corridors of internet readership, how would people react? Obviously with silent remorse! Or even with simmering discontentment! Good that! For, there are a select few who believe in rising with resolute mind and determination, that too without a fall. But if a random few choose to bend backwards and fall prior to rising, well so be it!
