The voice of the human soul

Magtymguly Pyragy praised the concepts of morality and humanism, and created a unique school of promoting and educating these values. The principles of humanity include the concepts of ‘goodwill’, ‘kindness’, and ‘generosity’ in the literary works by the thinker. Magtymguly sometimes praised these concepts, sometimes compared them, at certain moments regretted that people lack certain qualities, and proved that goodwill is not just an intention, but an action. The humane character and the thought of benevolence shine the light of prosperity on our life and inspires our people to do only good deeds. Thus, when humanity forms the core of the state policy, people are happy, society is united, country is prosperous, and the state initiatives are always successful.
