Values and Self-satisfaction

Values and Self-satisfaction

To lead a successful and honorable life, we always need a set of values. These values shave us in such a way as our character seems beautiful. To correct ourselves, we have to accept two types of values consciously or unconsciously.
These values are:
1. Religious Values
2. Social Values
When we become a burden on earth, religious values are introduced to us. We accept and follow these values to get religious satisfaction. Though by following religious values, we totally want to please our God but while doing this, we are also respected by the people. So being religious also gives a respectable social status.
If religious values give us an honorable social status, what do we mean by social or moral values then? Directly or indirectly these values are in connection with religious values but the focus of these values is to please the society. If one wants to be social, one will have to follow the social values.
The point which forces us to think is that both above-cited values are somehow imposed on us. That is why, we may be able to get religious and social satisfaction but we lose self-satisfaction in this way. It does not mean that religious and social values are hindrances in getting self-satisfaction. No doubt religious values are the best sources to get self-satisfaction but we remain dissatisfied because we regard these values as mere duties. Sometimes we consider these values a burden. We do not absorb ourselves in them.
At this situation, literary values come to the stage. It is entirely up to us that we want to follow these values or not. So the people who follow literary values, they do it to get self-satisfaction. They have nothing to do with anything else except ‘literature’. That is why; literary values become a necessity to get self-satisfaction.
