Dignity: Self-preservation involves taking care of one’s character, dignity, and sense of worth. The individual on the path of self-discovery continually strives to maintain their dignity and defend their values in the face of both internal and external pressures. This helps them create unity in their speech and behavior, avoiding contradictory actions.
Conclusion: The Relationship Between the Three Axes and Personality Unity
In Farhadian's theory, the connection with God, connection with Imam Mahdi (PBUH), and connection with the self are three essential axes that work synergistically and can play a vital role in achieving unity and harmony in an individual’s personality. Connection with God provides a deeper meaning to life, connection with Imam Mahdi (PBUH) gives a moral example and instills a sense of responsibility, and connection with the self helps the individual discover and preserve their identity and dignity. These three axes, together, help the individual to act in harmony and unity in their speech, behavior, and decisions, leading to balanced and integrated personal growth.
