The lawyer’s statement is indicative of the general mind-set. Every man and woman is engaged in the same kind of thinking and only differ in terms of degree. However, this is not a trivial matter. This kind of psychology develops pride and arrogance. In contrast, he who considers the thing he has purchased from the market as a divine gift as well as a gift from humanity, and that his own contribution to it is nothing, will certainly develop modesty. There is nothing greater than modesty for any person. Acknowledging others’ contributions develops modesty and positive thinking which is the source of all social good. Not doing so, would lead to arrogance and pride, which are the root cause of all social evils. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 18th of the month providing their full name and address.
