Abstract

Every human being should do virtue as much as possible. A richest person will not attain happiness until he spends his money in charity and by spending so he will get more pleasure. Virtue adds pride to human life. There is no wealth better than virtue. In today's civilized world, morality is the number one thing that mankind lacks. The first wealth that one can acquire is education. Education is a tool that opens man's knowledge. If a man has good knowledge, no powerful enemy can destroy him and it protects him from his sufferings. The mind is like a cow and it tends to go where ever its feet go. Having good knowledge stops a person from doing evil things. When friends do immoral things, it is our duty to take him into the right path. In this way, this article examines morality, education, moral ideas and knowledge.
