The correct answer here would be <u>Beware the pursuit of luxury as it will surely barricade the path that leads to self-awareness.</u>
The author clearly states his claim in the beginning of this excerpt:"<em>Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind</em>."
What he means by this is that we do not need as much we think we do and, in order to make progress as mankind, we should care less about luxury and rely more on reason and judgment.
Answer:
Principles or standards of behavior is the best definition of the term values. Values are principles, standards that an individual/group of people hold in high regard (something that we hold dear, those qualities which we consider to be of worth). They are formed by a particular belief that is related to the worth of an idea or type of behavior. Their purpose is to guide the way we live our lives and the decisions we make (they can influence many of the judgments we make). Honesty, justice, and generosity are some examples of values.
