In a true sense, these attributes are to be acquired essentially
in order to justify one’s existence as a human being’. Only that person has the
right to be known as a civilized member of human community who is adorn by the
quality of compassion for fellow human beings and possesses attributes worthy
of a human being . To achieve the objective of self-- counsel, one is advised
to conceptualise a person possessing aforesaid virftues as an ideal and make a
critical appraisal of one’s own self with reference to the former. In absence
of an ideal or standarad , it is is not possible to know the level of personal
virtues and vices. A comparison with the wicked would only make us feel
superior, whereas on the otherhand looking upon men with super –human achievements
would only bring in dissatisfaction and discontentment about present inner status.
Standards are necessary for any measurement. A critical apprasail can not be
done without comparisons. It is absolutely necessary to know the standard for
appraising the facts. Without being aware of normal body tempature, it is not
possible to prescribe for a patient suffering from high fever or sub normal
tempature. Knowledge of average blood pressrure is necessary for finding our
abnormalities of hyper or hypo—tensions. In the same way some standards of
nobility and humanitarian attributes are to conceptualized for critically analyzing
whethers one’s own living—norms are low medium or high order.
