So it is with duty. The idea of duty varies considerably among distinct nations. In one country, if a man does not do certain issues, people will say he has acted wrongly even though if he does those very items in one more country, men and women will say that he did not act rightly -- and yet we know that there should be some universal notion of duty. In the exact same way, 1 class of society thinks that particular factors are among its duty, although one more class thinks really the opposite and would be horrified if it had to do these things.

Two techniques are left open to us -- the way of the ignorant, who think that there is only a single way to truth and that all the rest are wrong, and the way of the sensible, who admit that, according to our mental constitution or the various planes of existence in which we are,duty and morality may differ. The crucial point is to know that there are gradations of duty and of morality -- that the duty of a single state of life,in one set of circumstances, will not and cannot be that of one more.

To illustrate: All excellent teachers have taught, "Resist not evil," that non - resistance is the highest moral ideal. We all know that, if a specific quantity of us attempted to put that maxim completely into practice, the entire social fabric would fall to pieces, the wicked would take possession of our properties and our lives, and would do what ever they like with us. Even if only a single day of such non - resistance had been practised, it would lead to disaster. However, intuitively, in our heart of hearts we feel the truth of the teaching "Resist not evil." This seems to us to be the highest excellent but to teach this doctrine only would be equivalent to condemning a vast portion of mankind.

Not only so, it would be making males feel that they were often carrying out incorrect, and lead to in them scruples of conscience in all their actions it would weaken them, and that constant self - disapproval would breed a lot more vice than any other weakness would. To the man who has begun to hate himself the gate to degeneration has already opened and the exact same is accurate of a nation.
