Focusing on changing morality for the better is one of our most important duties. That is to focus on changing our morals and the morals of those around us through focusing on the truth. Man isn’t suppose to change ideas, as they automatically change when morality is changed. Also, changing ideas through discussions and arguments causes conflict with others and pointless arguing. Even if you defeated others with your ideas you still didn’t change a thing in them. However, if you defeat them with a noble moral behavior they would stand confused, like responding to their bad deed with a good deed, here they'll feel that you are bigger than them and thus you sow in them a seed which will gradually change their ideas.
This
remind us of the novel "Les Miserables" in which unfairness and
oppression turned Jean Valjean into a violent man. He started to transgress,
beat others and steal from them, until he met the noble bishop who welcomed
him, fed him and allowed him to sleep in his warm house, after he was shunned
by all the villagers who locked their doors fearing him. In the morning, Jean
Valjean stole the valuable silvers from the bishop's house and ran away. It was
only a matter of hours till the police captured him, accusing him of robbery,
and brought him to the bishop who surprised Jean Valjean by saying: he didn’t
steal it from me, I gave it to him!
Out
of this incident, Jean Valjean's life totally changed. This would never have
happened with giving him advices and arguing with him. It happened because of
morality.
Such
moral acts also make it difficult for others to doubt your intentions, because
you are sacrificing your money for the sake of your
principles.
