To Thine Ownself Be True

This above all to thine own self be true To Thine Oneself Be True

Most people find fault with others and blame them for all the wrongs and troubles of the present day. We never judge ourselves; we don’t analyze our actions, but we always find solace in searching for the faults or mistakes of others. We ignore our inner voice when we do something wrong. This is the reason why everybody is unhappy and suffering from one or another infirmity. If we want to live in peace with real happiness, we should try to perform our duties. Society consists of individuals, and if each individual takes care of his conduct, most of our troubles will cease to exist. The above quotation from Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ is a maxim that should be followed by all. One must be true to his own conduct.
