HOW ETHICS AFFECT OUR LIVES

These ethics and principles are the guide to a wholesome life, free from troubles and unnecessary strife. It shapes and forms our way of thinking, building our characters to prevent us from sinking. Unless we lay a solid foundation from very young, explaining the reasons behind it, the major one being to remain free from being held ransom by mistakes and wrong decisions we make on the way, which will be many. Mistakes should never turn into traps, but become a work in progress as we learn from them. We never hide them or keep secrets, that is a sure way to be caught and held at ransom, especially if we want nobody to know about it.....it will be held over our heads like a sword on a continuous basis. We investigate it, analyse it and make amends and repair where we can before we move on with life. It doesn't help telling children not to do things without giving reasons and examples to why, or their curiosity will take them there and then they can't find a way out. Everything in life has a purpose and reason, to teach us to explore all situations and not take things at face value. This we need to learn from very young - the ability to solve problems as they arise. All fear is based on ignorance and once we obtain the knowledge and insight into what we are afraid of, there is no more fear. A mountain is only a mountain until we start climbing it - then it becomes steps to a final destination. This is what we need to learn. With a solid moral grounding we will have the strength and ability to overcome because this keeps us in the light where all things become visible. Virtues and values are everlasting and travel with us throughout life and thereafter. It never ages or goes out of fashion, it is the very core of humanness. The darkness breaks down our morals and purity first and then slowly but surely eats away all our humanness until we are merely puppets on soos me one else's chain. Strong morals build strong people that remain free from bondage because we have the self confidence to stand against the forces of darkness without buckling under the pressure.  This is probably the greatest fight we will have in life - to remain free from bondage if any kind. Teach the children strong morals and virtues to stand against the temptations in life that soil, degrade and destroy our hearts, souls and minds and explain how this happens so they have a clear understanding of the background and where it leads. We take one at a time and firmly establish it a child's life, then move onto the next, using examples where we can.©

From tomorrow we'll work on each individually and see how we can do this.......
