A Good Citizen
A person who is aware [1] of his duties and rights in this society is a good citizen. He knows that he is a member of a group with which he is associated [2] by a thousand and one ties. He realizes that he should live in harmony [3] with other members of the society.
Man cannot live without a society. He
cannot live alone. He must live with his fellow human beings. But living in a
society means co-operation [4] with other members of the society.
When you live in a society, you have to live as others live. You have to accept the condition and
traditions that a society prescribes [5] for its members. These
conditions and standards of behaviors [6] are for the common good
and welfare of the society and individuals. Society gives you some
rights and some duties.
A good citizen does his best to do
his duty to the society. He always keeps in view the interests of his society
and state. He lives a clean and honest live. He keeps away from such activities
as may harm the interests of his fellow citizens.
A good citizen is aware of the fact
that he is indebted [7] to his society in many ways. He knows
that the labor and work of countless persons have enriched his life. His life,
to a very great extent [8], depends on others. He has received
much in material [9] and spiritual benefits [10]
from others. It is only just and right that he should pay his debts. How does a
good citizen pay his debts to the society? By living a useful and fruitful
life. He lives not for himself alone. He loves for others. He pays his taxes.
He taken keen interest in the affairs of his state. He does not live isolation
[11]. He is not selfish. He is tolerant [12] and kind and
virtuous.
