Perfect balance inside and outside, within an individual, between individuals and groups, between the individual and society. Self-control and adequacy of reactions. Special training in self-regulation.
People become more quiet and self-assured when they are not afraid of being mistreated or misunderstood.
No aggressiveness or fear. No thought about abusing or offending anybody possible. No defensive behavior, since there is nobody to defend from.
One need not refrain from anything if one knows how to keep it under conscious control. Moderate pleasures of any kind.
Emotions well balanced. No blind passion. No outrage of emotions, controlled manifestations.
Many feelings remain in the past (hatred, envy, jealousy). Joys are mostly spiritual, related to creativity.
No destructive feelings. Every emotion admissible only when it is useful for the personality.
There is no need to hurry if one does not have to justify one's existence. People are patient and tolerant.
Self-discipline. One has no need to control the behavior of the others, suppressing their willing. Every person is able to act in accord with the situation and the public needs.
No futile fighting with the objective circumstances, but rather making them serve the subjective goals. The complete utilization of the positive moments present in any situation.
People are attentive to other's opinions and independent in their acts and thoughts. Disagreement is considered as a social indicator of some problem that should be detected and solved with joint effort, rather than fight.
Other's acts and words are accepted without any suspicions. No back thoughts and hidden motivation.
There is no shame or timidity. People may ask others whatever they need. The answers are always complete and sincere, but nobody is obliged to answer.
No forbidden themes. Talking about anything with maximum discretion.
People are very friendly and helpful.
Reflection penetrates every action. The dominance of reason and universal objectivity.
No person is considered as a property of another person. Everybody is free and may choose their own ways of activity.
Nobody wants to be like anybody else. Maximum individualization, with maximum profiting from the other's experience.
No cruelty or malice. Mild and delicate attitude to everybody and everything.
Mental diseases are prevented by a system of socialization that does not allow accumulation of stresses and inner tensions. People are taught to control not only their bodies, but also their mental state, and there are numerous techniques to quickly restore the mental balance in critical situations without loosing the purposefulness and efficiency of behavior.
The social control over organic development eliminates the very possibility of genetic influences on the integrity of the neural system, and the destructive anomalies are corrected on the stage of pre-natal development.
Love to a single person can never contradict love to all the other people, or social necessity. On the other hand, the society will highly value any love at all, and the people will be very careful to never break the others' love.
However, love belongs to a much higher level than mere sensuality. Mainly it concerns the higher spiritual needs, stimulating the people's creativity. Though sexual impulses may contribute to the overall picture of love, they can never play the dominant role. The body helps the mind, but never controls it.
People like work, but they can also enjoy doing nothing. They control themselves and do not allow excessive work in a single area; everybody tries to exercise many different activities, of entirely different kinds.
