Today we are only talking about the business world. We have to leave early to work, achieve our goals, work as a team, stand out in the institution, have various skills (preferably all), read emails, reply to WhatsApp messages, we have to, if we do. Anyway, what time of day is the family?
We live in the age of the modern world, to have and not to be; reversed values, the extinction of ethics. Modern life where society idealizes the stereotypes of beauty, where the corrupt are heroes in the environment that must be ethical. If you do not integrate into this environment, you will be discriminated against by society itself, extinguished from that.
- Where are we now? In the family we give and receive love.
- Build bonds.
- Teach moral and ethical values.
- But does that happen?Priorities are reversed and the family is left in the background.
- We have dinner together when possible.
- We walk together when possible.
- We talk when possible.
- We watch a movie with family members when possible; the seconds.
- Minutes and hours of this modern era are faster.
- Time management has already lost its meaning; the family is in the background.
- Which explains the behavior of humans today.
We are uncontrolled, insecure, emotionally immature, impatient and stressed human beings who seek the easiest way to achieve goals, even if someone has to be hurt, is the model of the adult human being our children live with. People learn what world will they live in?
World of interests and success. However, this word has a unique meaning only in the dictionary; for some, to succeed is to have a home, to have a happy family, for others and the most common thing is to be famous in their professional career, to have a high-ranking position, to be financially rich, with a large bank yet has an unstructured family. Parents ask their children what they want to be when they grow up, and when their children respond to a profession that is not well paid or where the field is small, they will hear:
? Son, this profession doesn’t give money
It’s sad! Money takes over humanity and that’s the goal of many. We forget that money does not bring happiness, it does not bring physical and emotional health, it does not buy love, it does not buy peace; it only buys an ephemeral sense of well-being that, in the future, will bring anguish. And we will not know the reason for this anguish, because we think money was salvation.
And if you’re good, it’ll be the right choice. And our Fernando Pessoa in the Poem Linha Reta in a stanza says:
I would like to hear someone’s human voice
Confess not a sin, but an infamy;
Let that count, not violence, but cowardice!
No, they’re all ideal, if I listen to them and tell myself
Who in this vast world admits to me that he was ever vile?
O princes, my brethren,
For God’s sake, I’m sick of demigods!
Where are there people in the world?
So am I the one who is vile and false on this earth?
? Fernando Pessoa?
This verse was about the superiority of the world around it: social injustices and hypocrisy, and this is also true today: the search for the perfect being, where perfectionism turns those who live into demigods to meet the demands of society, concerned with the image that they must nevertheless care about for their own satisfaction, their spiritual peace, their mental and emotional health.
To educate is to prepare the child to be and not to have. To be a mature person, a person less frustrated and therefore suffering less trauma. There is no instruction manual, but there are values and beliefs that guide the way forward. Parents and families. You have to worry about tomorrow and, unfortunately, you just live in the moment. Education is the way and the solution.
Life is made up of victories and defeats, imperfections and perfections, positivisms and negativisms, ups and downs. Finally, we live in the balance of life in which we no longer know what is perfect or imperfect; We live in this confrontation, and children, young people and adults must be so critical as to have their own opinion and discern good from bad, without accepting the good or bad said by society, the press, newspapers and television.
Don’t let your personality be dictated by society. Be critical, be a thinking being, don’t accept compliance, know how to give your opinion and don’t be ashamed. We must be a royal family, not a farce just to satisfy the ego of others.
