THE VIRTUES THAT SHOULD BE FULLY APPRECIATED
 

The challenge of democratic changes represented by political, historical and social ones, is acceptable to all. Among these changes, the social ones are the most radical because they are directly related to concrete settings where the man acts. Thus, the reality is introduced to us with alternatives of opposite sides.

            It is a historical fact that Albanians are one of the most ancient nations of Balkan.  Several passengers, historians, poets, researchers and clericals have appreciated our moral virtues, helping us to conserve some of the inherent values as a nation.

On the other hand, as in all the world, even our society is changing and such a change is perceptible because it is a daily experience.

          As a result of different causes in our country, there was a fast and a deep  differentiation in economic and social aspects. The researchers notice that during the totalitarian regime, a considerable part of nowadays riches has been thrown in the extreme peripheries of society, with an obligatory eight-year school education, constrained to work in difficult sectors. Such a category gained “with courage” the status of being in the center of society’s development.

But, what about the benefits that society and its culture have from these persons tormented by the greediness of having more and more money? A part of them know the value of the knowledge and virtues, in the time when the world is being directed towards a good change. A time will come and these persons will be involved in that part of society that aims a better life. Furthermore, their children will be integrated within society, because besides of labor-market, they will be familiar with the cultural and intellectual “market”, which conserves and cultivates the moral values of Albanian’s soul.

According to some internet information on children conditions in the world, the experts admit that the education is the first element in achieving the peace and the progress in the new millennium. This seeks investments including both knowledge and economic support.

Most of the countries appreciate and aim democracy’s system. The security offered by a united world, shaped in a democratic way, is a stronger one, because it increases the trust of the people to work and to be joyful. People benefit from the union and not from division. The inclusion of the citizens into social problems seeks the existence of understanding because there are problems that concern to all of us, such as problems of peace, human rights, cultural development etc. These are pervaded by the idea that the world, the life and the man are a harmonic entirety in this infinite universe. Such a perfect harmony leads to the Creator, the Lord of the Worlds, Who created everything. 

In this aspect, Universe Magazine gives its contribution, bringing messages of peace, understanding, tolerance and collaboration in achieving high moral virtues. The good virtue is culture and the culture should be cultivated and transmitted from generation to generation.

This issue of the magazine contains authentic studies or parts of them, estimations from social horizons, problems of art and culture, followed by articles that introduce opinions for events of time and society. It’s mission includes:

Firstly, introducing the incontestable values of Islamic faith given in the Qur’an, thus helping in the clearance of specific problems and matters; secondly, evidencing the numerous values created by mankind in several fields, such as culture and science, through the affirmation and introduction of the well-known personalities’ papers. 

The mankind recognize the value of high virtues and works for it. In such a work is always the presence of God, Who gave to the man, the soul, the heart and the knowledge. The change for good is evident and people should learn to coexist in harmony and to communicate in a sincere way with each-other. There are too many good examples of this harmony which are guided by the Most Magnificent one, the God, and we should rely on Him in order to achieve the best of morals.
