The responsible performance of duty should require the meaning of existence

« Morality is the essence of human existence and the basic point of humanity in man. Two things fill the soul always with more recent and greater admiration and with fear as much as thinking more often and more frighteningly deals with them: the starry sky above me and the moral law in me. And I directly associate them with the awareness of my existence… Moral law reveals life independent of what is animal and all the sensory world – a life whose determination is not limited to the conditions and boundaries of this living, but goes into infinity, ”Ibean Kant

For the duties, responsibility, morality and ethics in the Republic of Macedonia (1)

Every honesty rests on respect for duties in life

We have been living the 34th year of the introduction of democracy and pluralism in Macedonia and half of the third decade of the 21st century, and never establish a paradigm of responsibility, principles and ethical and moral values ​​in the community. It is high time to build a value system with a democratic sign, whose essence will be the national and social tradition and culture in which work ethics and moral principles will be founded, as well as responsibility of all kinds (criminal, misdemeanor, disciplinary, moral). Sotir Kostov writes about these necessary prerequisites for the sustainable democratic order and free social life in the country and society in the series titled « On the Duties, Responsibility, Morality and Ethics in the Republic of Macedonia »

The folk genius would say that things and the situation in Macedonia came to the bone. To all we did to our nails and the film burst. I do not know which way in recent years, because of the irresponsibility of the authorities (local and state -owned) they burn us alive, young and innocent children and young, but also older people. People were burning in the Tetovo modular, burning and killing people in Laskarci, people burned on a Besa Trans bus, « Durmo Tours » and, these days, the darkest weekly morning in the history of Macedonia – in Kocani, in Kocani, nor a club, nor Stip, Strumica, Skopje, Probistip. Immeasure tragedy, irreparable loss. They caused us shock. They created a state of horror. We feel pain-off. These days we are testifying a comprehensive, comprehensive, complete and deepened investigation into the fire in Kocani, which is in the initial first stage, but organizers and agitators of political haunters appear and demand street justice, prejudice responsibility and declare guilty (« … killers … ». It is an ugly use of indecency and malicious as instruments to channel the strong emotional reactions of members of their own group, which are remotely conducted and instrumentalized.
The events that have happened to us, while we have not seen the conscientious thinking of the authorities and responsible actions of the institutions for them, encourage the critical public to think, speak, write and in any other way to react against the uncivilization that is happening to us, both in politics and abroad – in business. Such uncivilization deserves only our condemnation, of course, asking questions about the situation in which we have fallen, for their reasons they have caused them, and the consequences we suffer.

Where are reason, consciousness, conscience?

For a long time before learning, we have moral, professional and political perversion. What has been served by the « chosen », « named », « set » and staffed in the past years, was neither  » On the contrary: first by favoring friends and partners they have put down Croanism; Then, through the administrative vertical and horizontal, they set up their relatives (wives/husbands, sons/daughters, nepigios, brothers/sisters), which strengthened cornism with unprecedented nepotism. And here’s your corruption in all pores of society. On the so -set corruption terrain, in recent years, they have created a cruel monopoly on power, discretion, where and where they are prohibited by law, making the responsibility evaporated, integrity was spent to the root, and transparency formal, transparent and liar.
It was enough! The basic normal rules of ethical behavior, to emphasize professional standards, and accept that legal, constitutional and legal, norms are mandatory for each of us. Virtually for all members of our social community. It’s moral! On the one hand we provide us with security and security in our lives, on the other hand, they mean discipline, order and order, the necessary conditions for a tranquil and harmonious life in every social community.
Where to start with radical changes? There are no dilemmas, our duties (whether and how do we perform them?) And with responsibility for and from them – disciplinary, misdemeanor, criminal and moral. Well, Kant teaches us that morality is the essence of human existence, but we have not caught up. The respected Kiril Temkov has literally begged us for more than thirty years to incorporate ethical principles in our thinking, speaking and acting, but we deaf in ears and blind eyes. So back to the school desks and start from the principle, he said a dear teacher.
Morality expresses ethical rapture to achieve virtue in human behavior. In that behavior the superb and moral necessary principle is ethical rigorousness. This implies that civil ethics in the foreground puts the fulfillment of the duty and responsibility that comes from it. That is the idea of ​​the moral quality of the person, which should do the best. For such a highest ethical position everyone has to fight on their own – with their life and work orientation and their constant positive moral behavior. One has to be infused with such an understanding of life, duty and responsibility, and one needs to be educated. The Romans were in ancient times (in the early stages of the empire), and today are the Japanese, Germans, Jews and others. Only with the flawless fulfillment of duty can real achievements in spiritual, creative, organizational, economic and political fields be made.

For duties

The responsible performance of duty should require the meaning of existence. It means that fulfillment of duty is the strictest morality. So: First of all your duty! This is a paraphrased thought of the most famous Roman philosopher, Singnik and statesman Mark Tulius Cicero, who created the word morality. He wrote the work « For the duties », which contains the most influential ethical thoughts in European history. It is precisely these thoughts that, to this day, have been the basis for the upbringing and construction of the moral rules of the responsible persons in society. Cicero teaches us that every man’s action should be free of lightweight and negligence and that man should do nothing for which there is not enough justified reasons.
With these thoughts, Cicero gave the definition of duty, on which he put consistency and moderation. He pointed out that we should constantly be awake and be careful not to do something reckless, negligent or inappropriate. According to him, the man was born for serious things and for greater accomplishments. Everyone should dispose of a reason that raises people above all other living things.
According to Cicero, this is the source of knowledge of the duty of which morality and decency originate. Such a philosophy of duty stems the rules of the consistent and honest living in the community. Much later the philosopher and ethicist Immanuel Kant built ethics that is based on duty. In his work, « Criticism of the Practical Mind » represents his duty as the only moral principle that requires nothing but his fulfillment, adding and providing everything. According to Kant, the moral law on man is the law of duty. It is this law that determines man’s actions in fulfilling his duty. Is it so in Macedonia?

Golden verses

« Think about before you start, not to do stupidity – it is unique to work and speak crazy. Do it just what will not bother you later! Do not do what you do not know, but only what you need – so you can spend your life in the greatest happiness. To live a clean, meek and virtue of life! evil, reproach; if you did well, rejoice!
Reading these golden verses of Pythagoras, given the thought of a great mind from antiquity (Cicero), that we should not make reckless, careless and inappropriate things, and of course bearing in mind the teaching of the greatest ethic of all time (Kant), that our duty, In the community we exist according to moral norms and principles, and we act and exist by fulfilling the standards and rules contained in them.
