Fatherly Advice: Remarks on good education

Being said that looking for a reasonable explanation to everything is not reasonable, particularly when coping with the difficult task of evaluating fatherly performance in the education of our kids, it must be said that naturally not everything is out of control. Even more _Most of times, someone is to be found accountable and responsible for a kid breeding and the particular output of it.

Of course, let's not consider the cases of clear disorders, such as hyperactivity, depression, autisms or attention deficiencies, etc. Not even the disorders origined from the kid inability to occupy a healthy niche amongst his pairs, more or less hostile. The difficulties are many.

However, lets now underline the importance of conveying a good education to the offspring.

Generally, in most cases, any time a kid grows up and develop a conflictive conduct when a teenager or youngster, such a conduct can be described as anti-social, in a most strict sense: that inability to run their lives along with those of others. I find this inadequacy beyond any code of moral convention. There is a clear distinction between being unique in terms of a life proposal and being anti-social. The unique, rare or nerd is content and his ties to society are strong, regardless his carelessly attachment to accepted social manners and modes, as he lives along with and amongst others.

However, conflictive (and, in many cases) delictive attitudes, cast the perpetrator outside the social circles and his reflection of himself signifies clear discontent and the sense of belonging somewhere else, an else that might even not exist.



So here it is my point: the struggle of parents to covey a good education to their kids is a battle to put them in the social game, to deeply sow in them the roots of the sense of membership. In modern societies, that membership, as said, can exist regardless strong individual lifestyles. Those roots will be channels for future happiness and health.

Good education means interaction, social zeal, the realization that the gravity center of this so-called life is not within ourselves, that we have no granted rights, that the mystery of life is a stronger than us and will remain here much more after us, as it has been here since much more time before. That we are nothing more than anyone else.

I am having breakfast in a overwhelming snowing morning and there is this couple with a 4 or 5 year-old child, named Harry, and the boy is a nuisance. And all his parents do is contemplate him with milds "Harry, do not do that, Harry, do not cry, Harry, Harry", but naturally they do not mean it, and Harry is having confirmation every 1 minute that he is doing something not allowed, but for him, he is allowed, so he is more.

You are in a plain and next to you there is a boy, and the child is a nuisance and has a tremendous high-pitch voice, perforating your ears, and his mother is only: "Schssssss", every other ten seconds. Again, she does not mean that. So the boy is reassured that he is something more.

One wishes quite often to be considerate by others as one tries to be. To me that is all education can be accounted for. I feel it has been so since the very beginning and, as the stronger and more genuine institutions, such as Family, this fact is not stated originally by any theory of political or social organization _It is just written in the brains of the Homo sapiens to escape, day by day, the primitive wilderness.

Recomposition can start from a very simple and truthful: "Thank you".
