Dear Friends
We,
the Mother News Team, are overwhelmed by the positive responses and lots of
praises by the readers of Mother News across the world. Mother News, a
thought-provoking and an informative magazine, tries to transcend the
world into a positive one. In this edition I would like to bring to your
notice about the righteousness of humanity, and furthermore, how
human beings should be righteous in their life in order to build a
peaceful world.
According to Aristotle, “To
righteousness, it belongs to be ready to distribute and to
preserve ancestral customs and institutions and the established laws, and
tell the truth, when interest is at stake.” First let our duties are to
God, then to the country and then to the parents. It should accompany by
holiness, truth and loyalty. One cannot do wrong and feel right at the same
time. It is impossible. Therefore, life is a constant growth in
righteousness, not in health, but in healing, not in being but in becoming,
not in rest but in practice; it is not the end but it is the beginning.
Righteousness is doing the right thing.
Those who dream for righteousness is blest, for they will find
satisfaction in what they do, if not immediately at least after a while.
People of righteousness and faithfulness
will be rewarded. Hence we have to love righteousness and hate wickedness
in our life. For a ruler, righteousness and justice are the foundation of a throne where love and faithfulness go
hand in hand. It will provide with glory and strength, and ensure
graciousness and compassion and make life full of prosperity and honour.
Righteous persons will always abstain
themselves from immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice,
deceit, lewdness, slander, arrogance and folly. The Bible says that the
righteousness of the wicked will be charged against them. Righteousness
exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.
Righteousness, which is called rectitude
or ethical conduct, is a theological concept in Hinduism, Christianity,
Judaism, Islam, etc. It is an attribute that implies that a person's
actions are justified and can have the connotation that the person is
judged. The Quran says that a life of righteousness is the only way to
make it to the Heaven.
Righteous people will always be virtuous,
good, just, fair, moral, pure, ethical, upright, honourable, honest,
equitable, law abiding and blameless. There are differences between
righteous and the wicked. 'One choose light, the other darkness. One
inspired, one disparaged, one spread hope and the other spread hate.
Let us be always righteous and teach
others to be the same. Dalailama ascribes that righteousness brings
empathy and compassion; generating the feeling of compassion will
lead directly to greater level of personal happiness. Acting on the basis
of that compassion will result in taking steps to overcome the problems of
today’s worldly misconceptions and will eventually lead to a happier
society as well as a peaceful world.
Let us sow the seed of peace and
tranquility in the world
by being righteous with a greater hope we will reap one day the
fruit of our deeds.
Regards
