All these contributed to my understanding of a good person and a liveable society. In terms of individual ethics, I would say personal liberty was the most important. To me, a society marked by violence, whether perpetrated by the State or by citizens, was much worse than a society where inter-personal violence was limited. Opulence was not considered a social value either. Violence in the home, violence in society, State violence, cross-border violence, international violence are on an explosive growth path.
