The intellectual thing,and the moral thing

Actually I don't have anything to say, or anything to write after such a precious speech of BERTRAND RUSSELL. If we actually implemented what he said, we would be living such a great life full of joy and happiness. Only if we truly followed what he said. The good thing is to learn from our experience in life, but the best thing is to learn from others' experience. And now I will just leave you to listen to his advice.

The interviewer : - "One last question: Suppose, Lord Russell, this film was to be looked at by our descendants like a dead-sea scroll in a thousand years time.

— What would you think it’s worth telling future generations about the life you’ve lived and the lessons you’ve learned from it?"

Russell : -“I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say to them is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say.

The moral thing I should wish to say to them, is very simple… I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and more closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”
