Sometimes when I explain a word and its meaning I don’t use modern dictionary interpretations, and that may seem foolish, but in these modern days an indecent person can stand up and claim that he or she is decent and many will say the same thing about that person, and the reason for this is because the word itself has changed its meaning as societies ethics, beliefs, standards, and rulings have changed – thus if society becomes more carnal, weak-minded, immoral and foolish the beliefs will shift according to these new standards or lack of standards that are being accepted by the many.
It is good to think out of the socially-acceptable box and make that a habit – question everything, think about things a lot.
If we don’t want to be as people are today, and we want to know what the old standards and beliefs were, to be what we want believe, then we will look back to days and thinking different to today, and even look to some God based thinking about being good people of high standards and communities all following the same high standards.
So, if you want to be the opposite of the weak-minded are of today, we need to understand the original meanings for the words that the weak-minded today proudly claim is them and their own characters, yet they don’t live as they did when the words were first understood and formed.
With Values, I tended to see this as, “What do we value/want/need/desire the most for our family, personal life?” and “What is most important to us as a person, people, community and country?”
But always be willing to stand out on your own and have values that do not align with others – these are the things that you believe and feel are important, and what you hold close to your heart and soul. If you don’t fit in, that is fine, often the masses are wrong.
Always be willing to defend your values and their meanings, but also be willing to at least hear other people’s views. This is being respectful, but also you may gain some insight from doing this as well.
When we hold something dear to our heart we hold it as if it were very valuable to us, its importance to the person is very high.
Values act as a compass, direction, guidance for each person, and although the actual values can differ, if the people believe in the same values the whole community can be based on those values, and in a good way.
Thus, if a member of the community decides to do something bad, the other members of that community will not only stop the bad thing happening, they will also seek to help the person wanting to do bad, they will know of the downfall a person goes through when he or she lets other people down by doing something that the community as a whole deems as bad, such as destroying property, graffiti, violence, bullying.
The goal should not be just to stop crime, but to make people, especially the young, aware of the sadness, damage and so on crime does to us all.
If we help the young grow a desire to live in a safe, clean, wholesome world then they will reject crime, and we will all be the better of for this.
To the Immature mind hurting people can be justified and even seen as fun.
To the Mature mind we want people to feel good about themselves feel that life is good, that he or she is worthy, loved, wanted, needed, thus hurting them defeats the honourable purpose of holding them as valuable and of us valuing them as a person in our life.
There is an improvement in your character and an improvement in society when people follow the same understandings of what is valuable in that society.
Such items can be material things like homes, we feel that the house is valuable. But also it is the persons character. We seek to teach, to help people learn, to help people grow, but we do it in such a way so as not to destroy that persons own personal belief in himself or herself, we value a persons mental well being.
So, if a person does not have courage, we explain the value of having courage, and how it benefits that person, people around that person, and future people who will come in to contact with that person, and also if need be if the people need to stand courageously as one to fend off a foe, he or she will be wanted, needed to be a part of that group, increasing the numbers, the strength of defence and the power of a solid group of like minded good people.
Good communities and good families don’t just point out those who are courageous or good citizens, they seek to help us all become courageous valuable people of high values and honest beliefs.
In these modern times we see people being taught that to be Included means that they are wanted, needed, desired and so forth, but the inclusion is in drinking places, gambling groups, parties and so on, instead of in the home, and in worthy causes.
It is worth thinking about what we consider to be valuable, what to hold dear to our own hearts, and believe in those things in an unbreakable way.
Weak-minded people are like a weak wall in a flood, something comes along they fold, collapse and go with the fad/flow or whatever is “the latest”, they are not strong. They are not strong members of a household, nor are they strong members of a community, but they can change.
People with very strong beliefs have strong values of which they will not budge from, and they when the storms of life come stay strong, because they know that they must stand up for what is good and right, because doing so makes them very good decent examples for the young, and lost hey are keeping the communities, families, homes safe, secure, and where we can have our values and be the stronger within for this.
In these modern times with many people claiming this and that, there are many people telling you that we all can have many different values and beliefs, and while that is very seemingly right, we need to understand that while many are doing just that, the conflicts and confusion is everywhere as people are struggling to understand one another because one believes this and another believes that.
If we have values, and many don’t seem to these days, we can use them to guide our lives because they align with our beliefs.
My focus, without being dictatorial, is that if the values of many people are aligned, and instead of celebrating the differences we celebrate the similarities that are based on what we want to see in our lives, what we want to see in the community and society.
In order for the Values to be effective in a positive way it would seem to me that they should be based on the Spiritual Heart of which we all have, and not so based on materialism, ego, and pride.
People today are doing a lot of complaining about crime and how bad society is going. What are we doing to stop this? Are we personally taking a step to teach our children values from that young impressional age?
If we taught, as a family, to our young what a house, family and community should hold in our hearts as values then we would find that the young would grow up with a strong code of good work ethics, being honest, having Empathy, compassion, all what we think is missing in society today in these modern times.
It may not seem to us all that times can change, but they can and with parents taking a strong stance in bringing their children up with strong values, society, the world would be a much safer place.
A society based on lots of loose values, beliefs and so on creates a melting pot of confusions, the young grow up unsure what to believe in when everyone is proudly believing in basically everything or many believe nothing.
A community with people of the same good values becomes a steadfast secure place for children to grow up in, become strong good worthy citizens themselves. People standing together.
If people can see what we should need in life for safer, healthier, honest living, then forming good ethics and values and standing with them while teaching them to our young is securing a good healthy wholesome future for all.
