IMPORTANCE OF VALUES
Moral values are the positive standards of life which
help us be a better person and enable us to live in peace
and harmony with each other. Kindness, gratitude,
honesty, loyalty, discipline and the ability to love and
care for others as well as ourselves, are some important
values instilled in our minds so that we get to live our
lives to the fullest.
GRATITUDE
Gratitude is the feeling of being thankful towards
something that has touched your life and helped you
grow; it is the willingness to appreciate someone for
their act of kindness and warmth. It is our innate duty to
be grateful for what we are fortunate to receive, and, if
possible, reciprocate the warmth back to the world. For
instance, we often forget how blessed we are for getting
enough food and water, a home to protect us and loved
ones who help us fight all odds and live in harmony.
Having a positive mindset towards life helps us grow
and stay content with what we have, and constructively
better ourselves. Gratitude helps in reducing
competition and pressure, but promote
acknowledgement instead.
As our actions are often a reflection of our thoughts and
the intricate working of our mind, they are powerful
tools to maintain a healthy ambience. Portraying
gratitude towards the ones who help us is the way to
thank God for who, and where we are today. Parents,
who provide us with everything so that we get to live
comfortable lives, and shower us with unconditional
love; brothers and sisters who cherish our company and
make lives fun; friends who accompany us through
thick and thin; teachers who guide us and chisel us to
become a stronger person each passing day; social
workers who give their best in order for the society to
thrive well and pleasant; fresh air to breathe in, clean
water to drink, healthy food to eat, everything is worth
our gratitude. Gratitude is thus, no doubt, a great
practice to keep our minds healthy and happy, and to
remind everyone who needs it, that they are precious
and important in our lives.
HONESTY
Honesty is the value which embodies openness,
consistency, empowering what is true and right. To live
by honesty is a great act indeed as it leads to a more real
world and lesser complexities. An honest person lives
with no regrets. Honesty leads to trust and confidence,
and the ability to fulfil one’s promises and aspirations.
Thus, honesty is a great virtue to live by.
EMPATHY AND KINDNESS
Empathy is the ability to understand each other’s
emotions and feelings, which leads to one being trusted.
Kindness and compassion towards fellow human beings
makes the world a better place to live in. Being kind to
others is a beautiful way to show gratitude for what we
have, and also the way to reciprocate the love we all
get.
LOVE, PEACE AND HARMONY
A person with peace of mind helps to spread love and
live in harmony with others. Being able to appreciate
others, being kind and understanding towards others are
ways to show love and care for humanity. Thus, good
values encompass all things bright and beautiful in the
world and make everything better each passing day.
