In The Brothers Karamazov, Rakitin cries out to Alyosha: '‘Humanity will find in itself the ability to live for virtue, whether or not it believes in spirit [and religion] and its immortality! You will find it inspired by the meanings of freedom, equality and brotherhood.”
This is a very deep thought, even if it seems romantic on the surface. Can humanity really create virtue and then build society on its foundations without the need for a religious component?
human values
'Human values' are so fascinating. The titles ‘Freedom’, ‘Justice’, and ‘Equality’ are strong and difficult to stand in front of, and they gather young people from all over the world, writing them on boards they carry in protest in front of the walls of politicians and aristocrats. Black and white, Arab and Indian, European and Latin chant meanings that strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and love between the nations of the earth.
These slogans bring people together at the level of individual human relations, so an Eastern man sympathizes if another Western right is digested, the black understands the pain of the white, the man and woman meet on concepts such as love and intimacy, and the Muslim and Christian share good neighborliness.
However, once we move from individual relationships to broader relationships, namely the organization of societal relationships, where conflicts and disagreements occur, and we need to translate these values in an organization.. Once that happens, the issue becomes more complex. Why has the human race failed to build a “utopia” in which to live in harmony and peace under the tree of common human values?
On the individual level, one of us experiences these values differently with the passage of life. The love we experience in childhood is different from the love we experience in youth and adulthood. So our definition of it cannot remain constant.
