Following Right Virtues Reduces Mental Agony
To lead a fulfilling life a very important factor is the presence of right virtues in the day to day conduct in your life. When you are following the right virtues it automatically guarantees the absence of vice from your life thereby reducing the
mental agony and the resultant stress which is the result of leading a life devoid of one or more of these virtues. This concept can be explained with the help of an example, i.e., Suppose a building needs to be constructed, there are certain truths about the construction of this building which are very well known to the people responsible for its construction, including the quality of the desired ambiance of the building, purpose for which this building will be utilized, the layout plan, obtaining necessary government approvals and licenses ,the construction cost, the overall project cost ,competence of the architect involved, expertise of the technical teams responsible to carryout air-conditioning, electrical , plumbing, sanitation work, interior decoration work, the quality of raw material used in each of these activities as well as the overall construction of the building, etc. that much care and effort needs to be taken to construct a building which would last a life time and be a perfect fit for the objectives which it is supposed to meet. Consider for a moment the consequences that would arise if only any one of these factors is compromised on, it would in fact adversely affect all the other factors and would finally take the complete project in an entirely different direction. Now consider if the compromise happens on any two factors then the result would still be worse than the situation where only one factor was compromised. Now consider three or more compromised factors and you may find that the viability of the complete project is jeopardized.
Distance Between You And The Fulfilling Experience Of Life
Similarly your life has the right virtues as the critical factors affecting the overall manner in which a fulfilling life can be lived, but compromise on any one factor is enough to drag the experience of a fulfilling life far beyond your reach and with each additional factor getting compromised the distance between you and the fulfilling experience of life keeps increasing exponentially. This can help you understand that with the increase in the number of right virtues getting compromised the life becomes completely devoid of any feeling of fulfillment. This can be additionally explained by the reality that when any right virtue is missing from your life, the effect gets compounded by the addition of the presence of a negative virtue, which automatically surfaces in the absence of a right virtue. Thus it is absolutely critical to know that the right virtues can help you in leading a fulfilling life and to ensure that these virtues are made into habits not through forceful adherence but through surrender, service and humility.
