"To err is human, to forgive divine". said Alexanderpope an eighteenth-century English poet. Any system of government namely democracy, autocracy, aristocracy or monarchy the system of governance is based upon an image of a leader leading the society.
Leaders are humans who have a certain quality that sets them apart from the common public. what are these qualities that make us go aww on some personalities, In this blog, I have tried to find the answers for the same by referring to great Tamil saint Tiruvalluvar
அழுக்காறு அவாவெகுளி இன்னாச்சொல் நான்கும்
இழுக்கா இயன்றது அறம்.
( அறம் = virtuous act, அழுக்காறு = jealousy, அவா = desires driven through five senses, வெகுளி = Anger, இன்னாச்சொல் = unpleasant words)
Instead of listing the virtues of an Ideal leader Saint Valluvar chose to list the trait that makes one unqualified, man free of these sinful traits namely jealousy, desires, anger, unpleasant words is a man of great virtue said Valluvar. Valluvar should have thought that it is important to identify the problem to eliminate it.
A good society is in which we see a majority of people with good virtues, at times where we see religious violence, bigotry, extremist actions getting unfolded at various part of the globe, one must free himself from the mentioned traits to not only make him virtuous but help his society become one
Let us all act on this call of a virtuous society by trying to make oneself more virtuous in every progressive day. Let's act within and create a brighter future
Thanks for reading, May he bless us all.
