Our brother gives religious education in an institution dedicated to young people and says, "The education process was very productive, but I see that the information given did not have an effect".
While our brother shares his message with a sad facial expression, dozens of questions are running through my mind: How much of what we expect from our children can we live up to?
Is it not only our children's problem that information is imprisoned in our minds and cannot reach our lives? Unfortunately, we see that knowledge is detached from its wisdom and turned into a commercial commodity. A person who has knowledge acquires a profession, makes a living, but cannot integrate with his essence.
Although the goals of raising virtuous children were mentioned, neither parents nor educators had such a problem. It was determined why virtues and virtues were weak, considerations were made about the values on which our civilization was nourished, but we did not encounter any action for action.
While we were building the lives of our children, we acted according to the perspective conveyed by the capitalist system, not our civilizational roots. We dragged them into an endless competition and suggested that they take the lead in the race.
As soon as the child starts school, we calculated where he will receive education and how much gains he will gain in which areas and we built all our dreams on this. Well, how realistic would it be to talk about raising virtuous children with this attitude?
Are we aware? Are you aware? Regardless of the occupation you occupy, your title, position, economic, cultural and social status, you are contradicting yourself.
You talk about raising virtuous children, but you are worried about bread and you cannot worry about anything else… You are crushed under your complexes and you sacrifice these children to your calculations…
Do not be afraid! Your child will not be hungry, unemployed or without food! Your child will not be homeless! He will move forward with his own effort and build his life… Sometimes he will fall, sometimes he will get up, and he will learn that falling is as natural as getting up…
Do not be afraid! If you do not interfere, your child will get the bread and love he needs with his own effort! If you do not intervene, he will realize that the honor he carries on his head is more important than bread!
Sit with him and make career plans, guide him so that he can continue his education life successfully, but please also explain that life, peace and breathing are not just this, and one evening, hold his hand and knock on the door of a poor person...
One evening, hold your child's hand and visit friends, listen to an elder's conversation, share the loneliness of a homeless person, and express to your child that these are no less valuable than the knowledge they learned at school.
Do not be afraid! Hold your child's hand and tell him that the soil has a language, teach him that it is a responsibility to walk without harming the ant...
