keeping self clear and clean

Just thought of writing something which stayed in my mind for some time. It is about the well know fact that being good and doing good is far more difficult than being a rubbish. I remember there is a parable in Holy Bible about this "building a house with a strong foundation and it will never be shaken when strong winds blow and if you build it on sand even a slow moving wind may flatten it". Therefore if I think further it all starts with everyone's childhood and family life. If a child is used to hear good habits, associate good friends and listen to calming thoughts, it will build a strong foundation for the rest of the life. It applies to the faith as well.

So what has happened to western countries??? we see this in western countries because word travels fast in developed countries and these are visible in developing countries as well. When parents become too busy with their hectic life style, they forget to nurture their children with good habits. Then who else is there for them to teach the correct way? So most of them will go astray. That is one observation I have made.

Here I get to the point that what happens if I do that and that etc. We only have one life and what is wrong about experiencing the different thing. Who cares, I'll do this just for now and for fun. These are some of the wordings I have heard and sometimes I have made. But the foundation I am built upon always keep saying that you should only do the right thing not for fun. Those fun things that we do will only bring repentance and shame in some later period of our lives. So it is so hard to the right thing instead of fun things. Is there anything in the holy Bible or Jesus taught that it is alright to do "these fun" things if you have a good heart and only for once? No right? He always said just don' do it. Sometimes you may feel discomforted by friends, left behind but the persons who do the right thing have a strong heart and courage. They are the real men. Real women. Understanding this truth is the hardest thing for you in your young ages.

With my own experience of some of my friends, I see this truth. I have good friends who didn't do these fun things and now enjoy a good life with God's grace. That may be the reward you get for your sacrifices. Some friends (some are not catholics) did things and fun things which are not acceptable. But they were good persons in the society since they were not always like that. You know its just for fun they did those things. And suddenly you get married, and all of a sudden you pretend to be a matured person. you preach to others with great wisdom you have just because you now have to be responsible person. Why you couldn't be so respectful earlier? A simple question. You always have to get married to throw away bad habits and become a good person? I emphasis the word "pretend" here. They are hypocrites (person who pretend to have good virtues, preaches, etc.). So then how can you teach your children good virtues after you doing all the things on this earth? Will they listen to you if they find out? It is simple semantics, they wont.

So it is important from the start that you do the right things. For every bad you do, it will come back with repentance at some point. My parents were never like those people so I always have to continue that to the next generation.So bear the hardship of doing the right thing which will yield fruitful results every time which may not bring the instant satisfaction.
