The moral tents, which are accepted as right and good are in the first place economic principle, which if over looked will certainly retained the comfort and advancement of any civilized community and if followed will benefit all concerned. Take one of the common maxis namely, Help one another which is usually interpreted as meaning that it is proper to help those who need help. It implied that most of us are selfish and perhaps thoughtless  especially in our youth. We should learn not to think exclusively of ourselves, but encourage sympathy and kind feeling toward others.
