S O C I ETY

Shows equality among all human beings. It is at

the center as we recognize the
need for individuals to foremost understand their
being humans and learn to
respect themselves.

This eventually leads to understanding and

respecting our fellow humans.

In understanding oneself, we’ll find oneness in

understanding others and the
society we belong to.

S O C I ETY.

This signifies that a person should relate

to a Supreme Being and one’s efforts
should be directed towards a fulfillment
of a higher good.
THE MATERIAL
WORLD

is under the self to emphasize that a

person can never be equated to any
material thing and does not have any
equivalent price or amount of money.

It also signifies that human beings have

intellect and freewill, which the material
world does not have.

same destiny to live happily, in dignity, and in
peace and harmony.

2. It is a universally accepted truth that “all men

(and women) are created equal, gifted with reason
and freewill”. This is the basic principle on which
our fundamental rights (Bill of Rights) are based.

3. Every person should be given equal opportunity

to develop him/herself, be a better person, and
pursue happiness in his/her lifetime.Thus, all

The law provides fairly for everyone without
distinction. Justice is blind when it metes out
justice.

5. The value of equality should move every

citizen to look after and care for the less
fortunate, the poor, and the oppressed.

6. Respect for equality means respect for

others in the same light that we want them to
respect us.
