Collective happiness: Let us learn to live together, be knowledgeable about our interdependent nature, says the writer. – 123rf.com
For instance, common sense will tell us that it is not possible for a person to be wholesomely happy if there is no “collective happiness” in the community. How can we be happy for example, when there are people dying all around us due to war? Our family could be the next casualty.
Discrimination, for example, is cruel and frustrating. In the long run, it will only ferment collective misery for everyone. Hence, laws, processes and policies should create opportunities that encourage talent, interest and commitment to grow. This would be collectively beneficial for the nation as a whole.
Even as a lawyer, I cannot accept the attitude of some human beings who hide behind the law or accidents of birth to live shamelessly on Earth. Our behaviours speak louder than the religion we claim to profess or the culture that we may be proud to embrace. We need to infuse compassion into every aspect of our governance before we lose our humanity.
We have to understand that God or natural laws will not save a nation from ruin if it shames and oppresses its own children. We only need to look at the long human history to realise how many so called “great” civilisations vanished when their citizens behaved less than the best a human can be.
