How Much We Give Back to the Society What We Receive from it?

I think the quote of this famous scientist is worth considering in today's context.We all seek so many things from various agencies of society but in doing so,how many of us are conscious of our duties towards it?

They have been proved to be great people doing favour to the society... I do not think that in the present times, we rarely find a true citizen helping for the society!!

I think it is all practical wisdom to which the sages,savants have drawn our attention to.Sadly we are too self-centred to be in a position to appreciate them!

If we live in society then we need to help other to make our society more better.............

That is only way to strengthen the societal bond, which in today's situation is all the more important.

In today's world people are thinking on doing service to their parents itself.Then where is the question of doing service to the society?

I think Society already charged us for maintenance and other charges so its automatically help sets.

I do not belong to rentier or interest earning class. Obviously, what I get is for my work. I also do not indulge in cheating or misleading anyone. Naturally, i cannot get more than what I give.

When we perform our duties towards our parents,it 's part of our family duties and our duties stretch far beyond our family even if these are not guided by nobler motives,for pragmatic reasons.For example donating blood is a cause of not only of society but our family too.I have seen how a person who never thought of donating blood,had to run from pillar to post for a few blood donor's card to save his father's life.

Man being a social animal will have to give back something that he earns from society.Then only the harmony in society will remain.

Whatever we are doing it is affecting our society directly or indirectly..

I think Income taxes and other taxes are what we are giving to the society from the money we earn.. :cheer: though it is not properly been used by govt...

Other than that i think we make up society and if we be good and develop ourself and the surrounding area then automatically in someway the society can be benefitted...

Most of these things are poosible if executed properly but in today world we dont have time to think about these things.

Well, I guess most of us pay income tax,road tax, house tax etc plus other taxes...

what is significant here is how much are we aware on keeping the society clean and free of undesirable elements?? By ensuring that we do not litter streets, waste water and electricity more than our needs, etc. is equivalent to giving our dues back to society that we live in!

kalyani- The various taxes are just our contribution to society for common expenses. We cannot say that we are giving these. You get from society for your work. Nobody will pay you more than you give. The only people who get more than what they give are the thieves, other criminals and corrupt. You have rightly commented that we should keep our society neat and clean and free of undesirable elements.
