उत्तर
Human beings, by nature, are quick to find fault with the imperfections of others. They don’t usually realize the truth that they have to accommodate their liberty to the liberty of others. A reasonable consideration for the rights and feelings of others is the foundation of social conduct. It is in small matters of conduct, in the observance of the rules of the road, that we pass judgment on ourselves. We assess ourselves as civilized or uncivilized.
We are civilized if we enjoy our rights without violating the rights of others or eroding into the privacy of others. It is the little habits of commonplace interaction that make up the great sum of life and sweeten or make bitter the journey.
In a civilized society, the public collectively accepts the fact that freedom is an accommodation of the interests of others. It means curtailing a part of one’s own liberty to the liberty of others. So, it is true that civilization can only exist and prosper when the public collectively accepts constraints to its freedom of action.

My first feelings were of relief–
relief that there were no more steps to
cut, no more ridges to traverse, and no
more humps to tantalize us with hopes
of success. I looked at Tenzing. In spite of
the balaclava helmet, goggles, and oxygen
mask – all encrusted with long icicles–that
concealed his face, there was no disguising
his grin of delight as he looked all around
him. We shook hands, and then Tenzing
threw his arm around my shoulders and
we thumped each other on the back until
we were almost breathless. It was 11.30
a.m. The ridge had taken us two and a
half hours, but it seemed like a lifetime
