Chapter 7: The Categorical Imperative

People believe in gift of nature or gift of fortune where power, wealth, honor, health where contentment and happiness lies. The good will is good because of the willingness alone of the person to do the good thing. We also have duty in doing good thing but only those who are willing to do that duty are what we can call good thing. The actions that we do are in accord to our duty and purposes of self-interest. We do our duty in the will of our wants and needs. We do duty in conformity of duty but not motive of our duty. We act in a way that we do maxim that is the universal law. We do good thing in accord of what we ought to act to do the right thing. We value what other people do to us and it has it means in every action we do. In this case, all of the people have their own objective ends that have to do with the people and surroundings. We should act in such ways that we give importance to the people because they are affected by what we act. What we want others to do to us should be what we also do to them. We should do good things to and exchange of accepting good things from other people.
