The Moral Vision
Destined for Great Deeds
~ 89 ~
It is the second group who make meaningful,
valuable contributions to the betterment of
humanity, for it is they who are able to join in a
common struggle, without which no worthwhile
work can be achieved in this world. Whenever a
number of people work together for a common
goal, it is inevitable that some should receive more
credit than others. Some are hailed for their
achievements, while others are denied all
recognition. This is true of all movements, whether
popular or prophetic in nature. There is only one
way for a common effort to prosper, and that is by
people forgetting about their rights, and
remembering only their responsibilities.
Unless there is a spirit of selfless struggle among
those participating in a common cause, it is not only
those who receive no recompense who will feel ill-
treated. Even those who are rewarded for their
contribution will feel that they have not been done
justice. Seldom does the reward a person receives
for his efforts live up to his expectations. It is a case
of either being satisfied with nothing, or never
being satisfied at all.
