IDEAL HUMAN QUALITIES
Precis The need of the hour is not any startling scientific discovery but
ideal human qualities which the world is eagerly waiting for. These qualities
are not material and so science has no grip over them. In the distant future,
science may have functional development in human life. The man may improve
on the natural man, raise his intellectual level. But he may not have the better
understanding of his fellowmen. However, as the future is troublesome and
life exciting, man has to be fearless.

It is no doubt true that we cannot go through life without sorrow. There
can be no sunshine without a shade. We must not complain that roses have
thorns, but rather be grateful that thorns bear flowers. Our existence here is so
complex that we must expect much sorrow and suffering. Many people worry
and torment themselves about the mystery of existence. But although a good
man may, at times, be angry with the world it is certain that no man who was
ever discontented with the world did his duty in it. The world is like a looking
glass; if you smile, it smiles. If you frown, it frowns back. If you look at it
through a red glass all seems red and rosy; if through a blue. If you look at it
through a red glass all seems red and rosy: if through a blue, all blue; if through
a smoked one, all dull and dingy. Always try, then, to look at the bright side of
things; almost everything in the world has a bright side. There are some persons,
whose smile, the sound of whose voice, whose very presence is like a ray of
sunshine, and brightens the whole room. Greet everybody with a bright smile,
kind words and pleasant welcome. It is not enough to love those who are near
and dear to us. We must be so that we do so. While, however, you should be
grateful and enjoy to the full the innumerable blessings of life. We cannot
expect to have no sorrows or anxieties. Life has been described as a comedy to
those who think and a tragedy to those who feel. It is indeed tragedy at times
and a comedy very often, but as a rule it is what we choose to make it.
