It is logical to assert that if every individual in a group is made better, the group of which he is a part will be made better. And what is human society but such a group? The best way to help it is to start with the individual who is under one's actual control--oneself--and better him. Do that, and it will then be possible to apply oneself to the task of bettering the other members of society, not only more easily but with less failure.
