Imparting Human Values through Literature

In the words of Dalai Lama, “In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention and respect to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.” Really a meaningful life needs to pay attention, respect to human values. Values are ideas that guide us in action. In this, they are similar to plans, goals, fears, intentions, policies etc. and the like. All these are ideas which guide us in action. Values only concern with the manner of action rather than the consequences. They set standards that serve to decide priorities and preferences through the right course of action. The ultimate end of the value is happiness.
