Future holds us..
Dear Parents or to-be parents,
It is my humble request that you teach your kid/children about,
Importance of being kind, humble, and emphatic,
Importance of saying No,
How to embrace failures,
Importance of existence,
To identify not just the Good and bad touches, but also the good and bad attitudes,
Taking care of the people/animals in need,
Not to tolerate violence, and to know when to leave the room if ill-treated,
How to be polite and still maintain self-respect,
not letting someone say they are not enough and that they don't deserve better things,
Importance of treating everyone with dignity, and respect, irrelevant to how important they are to you,
How It is not okay to stereotype someone based on their history, place, race, etc., and to not let that affect your values,
Not letting someone else's behaviour affect you,
Importance of apology, and usage of words,
How to forgive someone without accepting an apology,
About how it is okay to express yourself and emote accordingly,
About the importance of the environment they are surrounded by,
About the overall health and well-being of oneself and loved ones,
How they should love themselves and also the importance of letting loved ones know that they are being loved and missed as well,
Teach them how bitter life can be, so that they know how to prepare when life throws one at them, no matter how much you try to make it sweet, we can't avoid it.
These some are off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are many more that are most required, you get the gist....!!!(I sure hope that you do)
Why??
Cause while we strive hard to give the next generation a heaven of money, social status and education if the above-mentioned things are missed at an early age, then the future generation of ours will still be poor and curbed out to live life at its fullest and to prepare themselves for all the bitterness there ever is.
Our kids not only should know to pick themselves up but also to pick others, they can learn how to succeed in life once they know how to fail.
Let us all dream of the future wherein we are all united by human and moral values and are working together towards the betterment of it
-Hope
