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.
