Like charity, everything else begins at home. It is where your foundation for every kind of learning sprout wings. Home is where you first learn to speak, to sing, to respect, to behave, to work hard, to lie or to tell the truth, to do lovely or evil, to be kind or to be cruel; it is the first learning place for everybody irrespective of colour, race, or culture.
Home gives you the basic foundation for every kind of virtue that you can later on, select to create or discard. It is where you get an idea or the basic understanding of life and things, social, religious, economical or political. Literally everything is based at home because this is where you start to evolve as a human being, as a citizen of a sure village or town and fundamentally, a worldwide citizen of the world.
What they learn as a kid goes a long way in molding our dreams and aspirations. And not only is it important because our childhood schooling, in whatever form it may be, stays with us for a long time, but because plenty of what they become in life may even be traced back to the background that they are all so familiar with. In the event you and I, today, are known to be kind or generous, then it probably has something to do with our upbringing. Or if they are known to be egocentric, mean and arrogant, then, it also still has something to do with our own respective home surroundings as babies.
Much over academic institutions can teach us, the virtues and values they pick from growing up continue to have a greater impact in the roles they play as students, as professionals or as young people. may have excellent academic records but that aspect does not entirely define a person. It is only when that excellence is combined with the right attitude and character, that a specific person becomes someone worth looking up to.
They say that learning is a lifelong method, but they, most definitely create our character from the place and surroundings that they grow up in. While they must all strive to keep learning, they must also keep in mind to stay grounded and connected to our roots, to our lovely childhood values, because they form the basis of who they are and what they are. And because, as babies (unless they are born to unfortunate parents), they are always taught to be kind and lovely, to abstain from telling lies, to be respectful, to be well-behaved, to share and to be pleased about what they have. And these virtues, are sure worth keeping for a lifetime.
It is simple to undermine the worth of a lovely character in this growing world of materialism, but it is important to do a recheck on ourselves every one time in some time, to be sure that they have not yet lost, along with time, the rich virtues that make us whole. Because at the finish of the day, they are not more or not less than human beings, and at the core of it, lies the human need for lovely feelings.
