[www.keralites.net] MORAL COURAGE

 


Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all theduality.Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become."

There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself.

You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous.
You cannot be loving if you are not courageous.
You cannot be trusting if you are not courageous.
You cannot enter into reality if you are not courageous.
Hence courage comes first... and everything else follows.

How Do We Teach Moral Courage to Our Children?

Moral courage is not something that comes easily or naturally to most of us; it is something that must belearned. One way to teach moral courage is by your own example, to let your children see you making good, moral choices in your own life.

Moral courage is also something you canpracticewith your kids. There is a commercial out now that shows a larger, older boy trying to get a younger boy to take drugs. The smaller boy refuses in a way that would be acceptable in his place and culture. But then you learn that the bigger boy is actually the other boys older brother, and he is teaching him and they are practicing how to effectively say no to drugs.

One of the most effective ways we teach moral courage to our children is by telling themstoriesof moral heroes. It is important to actually tell the story; you cant truncate it and just give the moral, such as dont lie. It is theexampleof moral heroism in such stories that inspires us to want to try to emulate the strength of moral heroes in responding to difficult situations.

Ultimately, our sense of moral courage gets stronger by actuallyengagingin acts of moral courage in our lives. And when we see our children acting in such a way, we need to recognize that and encourage it.
