Where society leaves an effect on society...

Where society leaves an effect on society, it influences several people for when the rights of individuals and the society are in mind, the right of the society is of primary importance, and the rights of individuals have priority over the rights of one individual. Albeit, every multiplicity has priority over every unity although it might be preferred to superior unity. Now we must see how things stand in the ultimate society.

In this part, we shall be discussing whether the ultimate goal in human society is leading individuals to bliss or whether the ultimate goal includes leading society to bliss. If we say that the goal is leading the individual to bliss, the idea is that we regard originality as being particular to individuals and if believe that the goal includes leading the society to bliss, it means that originality belongs to the society. That what bliss is, depends upon social insight.

The materialists do not believe that bliss is outside the realm of nature and they found any interpretation of morality and spirituality on material values. However, according to the theologians, bliss is of a vaster realm and embraces both nature and metaphysics. Those who do not think beyond their whims and passions, act on the hypothesis of individual originality. Hence, they found their way to despotism, exploitation and enslavement.

It is with this thought that some believe they are a better race than others. Among them are those who lord over people and all social forces should be in their service. Pharaoh was one of them who said: “I am a better God.” (5) In contrast, there is another group that has achieved relative freedom. They hold that originality is particular to society and steps in the way of serving people. They think that if society is corrected, the ultimate goal is achieved.

If this way of thinking belongs to a monotheist, it arises from his ignorance; for this way of thinking is particular to the school of materialism. It must be noted that a materialist grabs at this thought ignorantly, for he cannot believe in sacrificing himself for others. The secret of this matter lies in this that a materialist accepts that death is the end of man and that he does not perceive any pleasure or pain after death.

On the same basis, how can this person learn about social welfare after death? After all, the life of any living creature is based on truth. If a man does not have an eternal soul, how can one sense people’s pains and pleasures?
