Constructive Temperament

CONSTRUCTIVE TEMPERAMENT As the train had just started moving but had not left the platform, the young man immediately pulled the emergency chain, stopping the train. He then guided Dr. Jalil out of the train and, without a word, walked him to a train that was going in the opposite direction. He sat with Dr. Jalil on the new train, which departed shortly. In a few minutes, they arrived at the station Dr. Jalil was trying to reach. The young man then saw him off and continued on his journey. Throughout this entire incident, there was no verbal communication because of the language barrier. Dr. Jalil shared another instance: he witnessed a minor accident on the road where two Japanese cars collided head-on. Both drivers got out of their vehicles, bowed to each other, and one of them said, “It was my fault; please forgive me.” The other replied, “No, it was my mistake; please forgive me.” This is what is known as a constructive temperament, a trait that ensures the progress and success of nations. Conversely, a society in which individuals only think of themselves and disregard others can never achieve significant improvement.
