Moral education is essential along with metaphysics

Academic or metaphysics people learn in schools and colleges, but moral education basically starts from the family. And this is an important lesson for every human being. What is moral education? In one word, morality is the criterion for judging good and bad.

No matter how educated a person is, no matter how high a degree he has, if he does not have a sense of morality, then he has not developed full humanity. Nothing good can be expected of the society by him.

A crime is or is likely to be committed by an educated person. But a man with moral sense never commits crime or social abomination. Morality can never criminalize anyone. So it cannot be forced upon anyone. For example, if I commit a crime like killing someone, then I have to face the law. But if someone asks me for help and if I don't do it even though I have the ability, then no one can punish me or blame me. I could, but I didn't. If I did, maybe I could involve myself in the work of the society with that person.

Treating elders well and loving children, treating parents honestly, etc. are slowly disappearing from our society. By this we understand the lack of morality in the society or the people around us. If there is no morality, it will not be possible to bring the society together in a beautiful shade. That is why the riots are increasing day by day. Due to the decline in moral education, today small children are forming criminal organizations like juvenile gangs. All the people of the society are far from being united, the families are also getting separated.
We are reaping the consequences of lack of moral education. Along with the society, the world will also get it at some point. Various types of anarchy are being created in the society due to small causes from this toxicity. For example – Eve teasing, rape, abuse of women, killing of children, beating and killing of parents to embezzle property etc. are not new.

Also, when the paper is opened, it is seen that such and such a school teacher has raped and killed her student. A teacher who will form the backbone of the nation, where will the common people go if they get such behavior from him. He has metaphysics, but no moral education. As a result, his conscience did not stop him from committing these crimes.

From this I can understand that not only physical education is necessary, but there is no alternative to moral education to become a human being. Since it starts from the family, let us all be vigilant and build a beautiful society by inculcating moral qualities in children from an early age, making this society livable for the next generation.
