Comment:
Taking the reversed example of Machiavellism,a great policy cannot be immoral.A policy based upon immorality is antiquated and unworthy of morden society.At the present day a generation of politicians set more store upon palpable realities than upon principles,because of the numerous deceptions it has experenced,of the frequent revolutoins it has undergone,but also of the weaking of spiritual beliefs.The true remedies for the political corruption is a return to principles and moral beliefs and the substitution of ideas for appetites.As for public,the sentiment of personal responsibility must be re-established in the mind and the education of the young.Nations,too,in their mutual relations,have every interest not to separate politics from morality.The public safty lies in justice alone.
This article inculcating the morality and responsibility is vital for either public and society.As spirit is the centre of human,equity is of consequence in a great policy.In my oppinon, justice decides whether a government would gain respect and supported by public or not.Immorality and dispised justice bring about autocracy,which is eliminated by history finally.There is a aphorism those who gains popular were under the sun.Only sincere and equitable morality should gain public support.
Then how to re-establish the sentiment of duty and of responsibility at the present day,reality and benefit fill full of the society.I once asked my little niece that if she has 10 yuan,would she willing to hand out 1 yuan to the begger on the road,after a while,she put out her hand and asked me with the innocent eyes “Give me 10 yuan.”I am astonished by his action.With the deeply-solid ideology in our society that interests and personal development is important,the youth is deeply influenced.It is diffiult to alter scocial climate,public awareness and basic education is important.As mentioned in the article that the society should keep a little of the admiration they lavish upon consequerors for the upright men who have given evidence of their love of humanity and of humanity and of their respect for huaman life. |
