| The teaching that work should be done and done well, not for the gratification of selfish desire but for the carrying on of social life, and that social co-operation is, indeed, worship of God, is applicable to every system of social organisation, be it the most ancient or the most modern.
The insistence on co-operation without selfish motives, and the plea that such an attitude of mind ennobles and equalizes all tasks should not be misread as a plea for any particular form of social order.
Man reaches proper fulfilment by each being intent on his own duty. Let Me tell you how he who Is intent on his own duty attains the goal.
