What is the importance of good character of an 'INDIVIDUAL' in the society ?

Question

Details for elaboration: 'If you be good yourself, thousands of people will be good seeing your example. If you be bad, you will find no one to sympathize with you in your distress because being bad, you have made your environment bad.
Know this for certain: You are responsible for the present and future—of yourself, your family, your environment and your country.'
