By contrast the future offers a reasonable assurance of longevity, health, material comfort and leisure. The incentive therefore will be towards purposeful existence. It is essentially purposeful and is based upon an intelligent appreciation of human qualities and aspirations. It does not seek to exalt the State.

Liberalism looks to the individual.
Its basic belief is that human dignity is the supreme good. The objective of Liberalism, therefore, is to establish and maintain a society in which the individual can develop his own personality in his own way, or in other words, can realise himself. Liberalism realises that individuals vary very greatly in their inherent abilities and in their aspirations. All men are NOT equal in these vitals respects. It recognises, therefore, the need to create an environment favourable to the effective development of these human resources.
