"To achieve a good life, duty is not sufficient; one needs to develop one's sympathetic feelings for others, and neither duty alone nor good will alone are sufficient to be moral." Do you agree with the above statement? Justify your position.

Sympathy is the value of understanding other's emotions by putting oneself in "shoes of others".

Eg) Khalsa Aid works during COVID - free food distribution.

Duty and sympathy go hand in hand, as the latter would ensure the fulfilment of duty in a complete way.

Eg.) Sympathy towards innocent residents, made Tamboli Ayyaj make a hospital in maoist area.

Duty is not sufficient to be moral as :-

Reasons

1. Not understanding the responsibility of the position held by the person.
2. Not going 'out of the way' to help others. eg) Swabhiman Anchal of P. Vineel Krishna.

Good life is also not sufficient as :

Reasons

1. Not living a meaningful life. eg) Baba Amte gave his whole life for leprosy patients.
2. using the position for personal & corruption gains. eg) IAS couple emptied the stadium for their dogs.

Therefore, a balance between the two is needed to live a meaningful life.
