We can't walk the path for our children, however we can teach them how to read the signs along the way.
Humans truly do reap what they sow. Learning how to manage their desires should be one of their top priorities. Human minds are like computers, it only reads the data it is fed.
There is a tiny membrane in the back of our brain known as the Reticular Activating System. This system focuses on whatever thoughts that dominate us.
This is why we act on whatever we allow to fill our minds. If we dwell on these thoughts long enough, our conscious intent creates that reality giving us permission to engage the behavior of our choice.
This appears to be why so many people engage in unruly behavior after watching or playing violent video games, and why men rape women after watching continuous pornography.
By the time our youth reaches the age of 14 years old, on average, they have witnessed more than 4,000 murders on TV, not including violent video games.
So we see that the images we see, are the images that impact our brains. Therefore, kids or other simpletons who have higher levels of exposure to violence, often have a reduction in emotional intelligence and social function.
Therefore, the more violence they see, the less reasoned they become. In that, their minds loss a sense of consequence for their behavior.
It's as if their minds had stored up the destructive behavior, therefore, that's all it knew.
This is why we must keep our kids away from destructive medias. Keep their developing minds away from the drama that is Paris Hilton. Dress them in appropriate attire, and keep their minds busy at something constructive all times.
Karmic effect will allow us to reap what we sow, therefore, choose wisely.
