People are born with values they've inculcated and learned from the primary environment in which they are groomed. Some of these values can be negative and some of them can be positive. This isn't a problem.

This is because people change irrespective of whether their primary environment groomed good or bad values into them. The Only danger for a person is not quickly realizing if some of the default values they have needs to be complemented or completely obliterated.

Change is flexible.

The experiential knowledge we gather from being exposed to people, culture, money, and different geographical environments has a way of influencing a premeditated type of change.

People are vessels, learning at the behest of influence.

The Only problem is subconsciously learning without filtering. Knowing or applying a good sense of perception to determine what is good or what is bad.

Sometimes, people easily justify bad values to be the type of values that are relatable to them and this is why people subconsciously learn toxicity.

The key to it is a key of defense, rather than seeing the negatives it brings and the consequences. This creates a ripple effect and this is how people also lose their sense of empathy. Technology has been a driving force in forcing values down the throats of people.

we subconsciously learn, good and bad

.....and sometimes, we incur a certain bizarre appellation to negative things. We cannot avoid the negative impact of technology and this is because the positive impact is evolutionary and the advantages are life-changing.

One thing I've come to understand is that theoretical knowledge forms basic principles, it's practical knowledge that actually defines people.

Sometimes we learn without grooming the impact of what we've learned and this is how we tend to know that we've applied perceptive filters to the knowledge we're constantly exposed to.

For example, the holy scriptures said the love of money is the root of all evil. It didn't say "was". This is because this notion irrespective of how humans futuristically change, grows, and develop will remain relevant.

this sentence wasn't just meant to explain the present situation of people at that time, it is meant to be evergreen, a stance that shows that negative value will always be negative, irrespective of how it's remodeled or goes through sophistication. On the flip side....

Money itself is a generational need that fosters the progression of prosperity.

It's a tool that should serve humans. But there's a degree to how we might prioritize making or having it that might seem to be dangerous. This shows that money tends to be supreme, because of how it can commandeer or tilts our actions. The tool (money) itself is not dangerous. The applicability is why it can be incessantly destructive.

I feel that the side effect of human creation is mostly the undoing that we tend to ignore. This is why people might think what they're doing brings only positive vibes and impact, only for them to completely ignore the loopholes that can be exploited to wreak havoc.

In this present generation, people do not want to create their own learning culture, they want to be impacted by what they read, what they see, and what they're exposed to. This makes it difficult for them somehow to have a predestined identity, one forged by them as a way of life that they want to lead.

We live in an era where people allow bizarre and foreign practices to creep into them, influence and groom into them a strange love for things that should be appalling

It's important to have a strong foundation, one that's not easily moved by the waves of modernization. As I said earlier, modernization is the labyrinth of human development and it fosters and propels us to our potential, but it's not every wind of change that is completely free of rot.

This is why it's important to have a rigid system, one that can bring us back to the values that are right and important.

Having the right people is important.

Choosing the right people, creating or building a system that will benefit or build your offspring, guild and solidify them is very important. The existing human systems are flawed and the walls of morality are weakened constantly.

We cannot change others, we can only make attempts, and when these attempts don't work, further attempts can break down our systems. At the end of the day, change is inevitable, monitor the negative impact, filter them, and do away with them.
