Formative Years

Should not physical and mental health of children be monitored on top priority during formative years?

Look around! You will observe people harbouring superstitions, blind faiths, misplaced fears, intolerance, false pride and self-esteem among many others. In my experience when I talk to them pointing certain aspects as ill-found fears and faiths, they fume and become furious for no reasons. I have often found a highly educated neighbour of mine returning every time when he finds on his start an inauspicious omen. Then he must take a glass of water before he ventures out again. Cats, particularly the black ones are the most feared and hated. They do not set start in certain directions. Their talk on lineages sometimes does not make sense. They harbour fears for anything and everything. I am now inclined to believe that during the formative years of our children many of us install a window that facilitates loading all these inerasable lifetime traits. Formative years are the period when you can instill all qualities in the mind that would stand him throughout life. Do you agree?

I think the monitoring is effectively done by the family. If the family is the source of superstitions, God save the child and the society. You need big reformers. I wish many men of religions, come out against superstitions, in the name of God and religion.
