The "self-" that needed in our cupboard
The "self-" that needed in our cupboard
In my point of view, self-control means holding back your actions, words, and thoughts in critical situations.
In this generation, we often talk about self-independence, self-depression, etc., but we have stopped using the word self-control as frequently. I am not saying we don’t follow it at all. We do practice it in some cases—like understanding our family’s financial situation and not asking for unnecessary things, which is a great example of self-control.
What I would like to emphasize here is that self-control should be acknowledged by everyone, and we should teach it to those who are not well-informed about it. In this modern world, everything seems simple and acceptable, but that is not the case everywhere. Since many things are becoming widely accepted, there are some that I personally disagree with. I know this is called freedom, but certain actions need to be limited. For example, doing inappropriate things in the name of pranks or engaging in reckless behavior.
The time I truly understood self-control was through my mother. Even though I was raised by a single parent, she could have chosen to move on without me. Instead, she endured many hardships and raised me into the decent man I am today. I know I received many scoldings and punishments from her, but they were all out of love.
For everyone, parents are the first teachers who instill good values. I will always envy those who have a father, as fathers often play a crucial role in teaching children important life lessons, sometimes more than mothers.
What I want to say is that we should teach and pass on the value of self-control to others and to our future children.
“To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.”
