The home deserves to be spiritual: maintain good family principles

You know what? We are gonna threat this topic this way.

1.   First – we understand that not everybody reading this topic believes in God and even those that believe have different religions and ways of worship. Second – as such, the focus will be on pure spirituality and not religion based viewed in order to ensure that we don’t contradict with the preaching of people in any way.

Since that is the case, let’s begin with actually presenting a definition of what we mean by spirituality in this case. We define spirituality as the “ability to maintain inner peace with ourselves and the people around us.” Mind you that we are not speaking of peace, unity on the external view, we are speaking of something that comes from deep down within our souls.

Spirituality in the family is viewed as the ability of people in the family to love each other more than they do for outsiders, learn to forgive family members even before they are offended, and make sure that their actions are geared towards maintaining a lovely home.

Let me give you a clue. It is very much common in the cases we have handled for parents to love other people’s kids more than their own. Even they tend to abuse these kids in front of their colleagues. This is not because they hate their own kids, but because they seem to have lesser inner understanding of the need to value spirituality.

We are definitely not saying that you should not love your neighbor – because the preaching of many religions is that you should love your neighbor as yourself. Instead, we are of the view that you should maintain a high level of spirituality within yourself, call to mind the fact that your family is the main reason why you are here. Those kids where given to you so that you can fill at peace with yourself, and without your parents you would not have been here today.

Therefore, is there any other person or people to show much love than your family? You be agree with is that the answer is NO, why then do you maintain grudges against your family members; why don’t you respect your parents; why do you love other people’s family more than yours; why is having your kids around something that makes you feel unhappy; why insult your kids in front of their peers?

Now you see there is a need for change to be made and this change should come in the form of increase level of spirituality. Understanding that charity begins at home will make you understand that there is no need to keep malice with your family members. If you experience problems, just call the person involved and settle it out together. If God is your creator and you believe in that, you can also move the spirituality higher to the religious view. Live a life that is worthy of emulation for your kids and a life that your parents will be happy to see. Family is love, family is peace, family is harmony, family is unity, family is virtue, family understands and family is all about building high level of spirituality.

As you are reading this post now, think of a way that you might have offended anybody in your family in the past of which you feel that the person still holds his or her anger for you. Now, make the decision to seek for forgiveness. Are you the offended, forgive from your heart and maintain peace with everybody in your family.

I might never tell you this again, but I need to remind you that:

1.      Charity begins at home

2.      There is no better place than home

3.      Seek your peace first with people around you in the family and anything you have problems outside you will find helpers around J

Wishing you and your family peace, love and unity.
