I just want to share this beautiful Renaissance; _____________________Duties of Man___________________ ...Education is the great word which sums up our Whole Doctrine.The vital question agitating our country is a question of Education. ...What we have to do is not to establish a new order of things by Violence.An order of things so established is always tyrannical even when it is better than the old.The theory of rights enables us to rise and over throw obstacles,but not found a strong and lasting accord between all the elements which compose the Nation. With the theory of happiness,of well-being,as the primary aim of existence,we shall only form Egoistic men,worshippers of the material,who will carry the old passion into the New Order of things and corrupt it in a few months.We have therefore to find a principle of education Superior to any such theory which shall guide men to better things,teach them constancy in self-sacrifice and link them with their fellowmen without making them dependent on the ideas of a single man or on the strength of all.And this principle is duty. We must convince men that they,sons of One only God,must obey One only Law on Earth;that each One of them must live,not only for himself,but for others,that the object of their life is not to be more or less happy,but to make themselves and others better;that to fight against injustice and error for the benefit of their brothers is not only a right,but a duty not to be neglected without sin-the duty of their whole life.
