Moral Education : It's Need

The body with no moral education is like a luxurious car going downhill with great speed but having no breaks.The same is the case of a human being who has no morals and ultimately collapses in life.Discipline, dedication, friendship, meditation,earnestness, simplicity, helpfulness, patience,appreciativeness, right speech, modesty, love for justice,honesty, sincerity and magnanimity are some characteristics of moral education.
We should imbibe moral values which in the long run would benefit us and be the root cause of our happiness. We must follow our conscience. The message of conscience is interpreted in the verse.

Six words there are that plead with me each day.
I ought,I must,I can,I will,I dare,I may.

We can turn the pages of history, and see the names of great men and women stand out in resplendent letters. Their lives serve as an example of future generations who search for the essence of their greatness. A little reflection will show that these 'Men and Women were great because they were more humane than the rest of us. Florence Nightingale became extraordinary through the expression of the ordinary values of love and care infuse a new life into the wounded soldiers. Gandhiji's basic principle in life was based on the values of 'truth' and non-violence'. Helen Keller distinguished herself through the quality of endeavour, striving to overcome her handicap and encouraging others to do the same. Our own freedom fighters serve as shining examples of great sacrifices they made in order to free their motherland from bondage. Mother Teresa stood out as a beacon having brought about a seachange in the lives of the underprivileged,spreading the message of love, like the permeating fragnance of a flower.

It is, however in today's world,their is a gradual erosion of these qualities.This loss of morality alienates one individual from the other, wearing away the mutual faith and trust among fellow men. Are we to become the living dead?Living like robots in a world consisting of cocrete jungles?

No, we still have some vestiges of hope left.This ray of hope comes from schools which are considered to be the' temple of learning'. Today it has become a necessity for schools to impart good moral education to children so that they rise high even in this wicked world. It is through moral education which is imparted in the school we can hope to see more idealistic persons like Mahatma Gandhi or Helen Keller amongst us.
With moral training, we will make the world a better place.

Morally do they seem practical? Are these hopes of survival and realism or simply euphoria, dreams that only bring moral and spiritual upliftment? Time will show.
