Today, more and more often we have to face the devaluation of good deeds, evil is becoming the norm. How to distinguish bad from good deeds in the context of evil propaganda? And most importantly, how to explain to the child that you need to be good and do good?
What is good"?
We love being praised, right? Like, how good he is. And what is a good person like?
This is the one who does good. Such a person tries to help the people around him, animals and nature. If everything is clear with the first two, then what does nature have to do with it?
For example, we walk along the street and eat ice cream. Throw the wrapper from it onto the asphalt. It's good? The excuse often is that "all the guys did it."
A generation born in the 80s had to hear from their parents: "If everyone jumps from the roof, you will jump too"? Herd is not always good. We should be responsible for our actions, and not for a comrade.
Throwing an ice cream wrapper on the ground is bad. Let it be a very small, but still a bad deed. Getting it to the urn is good. This indicates a person’s upbringing and respect for other people. And also about respect for nature.
Good deeds are those that we do for good. From the heart, and not because it is necessary.
Sample list of good deeds:
- help to parents;
- good studies;
- ability to monitor your appearance;
- ability to help comrades;
- compassion for animals;
- ability to thank and say hello;
- help others, not necessarily relatives or friends.
What is the difference between good and bad deeds? We will talk about this below.
This is bad
Speaking in the language of adults, an act that is bad is an action that violates generally accepted norms of behavior in society.
Difficult and incomprehensible? Let’s explain more simply: bad deeds are when we offend friends, pets. Rude to parents, cursing with grandmother and disobeying the teacher. This is just a small list.
Let's predict what daily bad deeds we commit.
Weekend morning. We sleep in bed, and here the younger sister runs into the room. And joyfully wakes us up. We push her back. The little sister falls and begins to cry.
Mom enters, angrily reprimands us that we can not offend the little sister. And we mutter "why she came and woke up."
Only a few minutes, and already two bad deeds. Offended the one who is younger. And upset mom.
Let's go wash, they splattered the whole mirror. It would seem a trifle. But a bad deed. We won’t remove it for ourselves, it will have to be done by mom. And instead of resting, she is forced to clean up.
They sat down for breakfast. They ate, left a plate on the table, and, without saying "thank you," went to play. What? Thank you for the food? Why didn’t you remove the plate? Let's go back to the kitchen and put it in the sink.
We play or watch TV. And here again the little sister is spinning. Drive it away, instead of playing together or watching cartoons.
They asked us to go to the store. Oh, how we started to resent. I don’t feel like going out, let the adults go themselves. Mom still kicked us out for bread. The mood is spoiled, we leave the entrance, towards the old woman - a neighbor. We would stop and skip it. But we are decisively moving forward, without slowing down. An elderly woman hardly dodges us.
And it took only a few hours to do bad deeds. Does it make sense to list further? Hardly, everyone already understood what was meant.
How to be good?
It's very hard. First you need to love your parents and sister. We love them! Really? When they love, they don’t push and drive. What kind of love is it when we offend a little sister or upset a mother?
It is clear that I do not want to play with the little one. It’s not interesting with her. And let's try to be patient and try to take the baby. We will see for ourselves what can be interesting with a sister.
Or, when mom asks to go for bread, smile at her. What bad deeds hurt mom more than our unhappy grunts? She goes shopping for us and teaches lessons with us. In general, a lot of what we don’t see rests on my mother’s shoulders.
We begin our journey to become good. We will help mom with pleasure and not offend her with our displeased look. With such a seemingly small step, our change begins.
Conclusion
We talked about what good and bad deeds are for children. The smallest readers tried to convey the information in an understandable way. The rest is for adults.
