Abstract

There is no doubt that the necessity of realizing the philosophy of creating the world of possibility, that is, worshiping and knowing the origin of the universe, is in the permanence and survival of the human race. On the other hand, given the emergence of differences between human beings that are rooted in desires and physical inclinations, it seems necessary to devise a basic plan for a peaceful coexistence for the sake of the realization of humanity, in light of which the supreme goal of creation falls.

         Social relationships, in addition to their tremendous impact on a person's psyche and mood, also have a striking effect on society. The stronger and more stable a person’s personality, the greater his influence on society. Reducing or increasing a person's sphere of influence in society is closely related to their characteristics and attributes.
