Humans as living beings usually are influenced in character first , from the people they live with in a home and secondary, the environment they found themselves in , emulating good or bad trait which is why parents are the first people children inherit their characters from. By this it then shows that know one is born with bad character.
The truth is that when a child is born into a home where parents exhibit good characters, it becomes very obvious then that this person will end up exhibiting good character. Parents who are good in nature makes sure to always shape and bring up their children in like wise manner which is why the Bible told us to “bring up a child in the way he/she should grow”, for when they grow, they will never depart from that manner that was impacted into them.
This then means that a good person behavior which is his/her trait is a characteristic of how good he/she was brought up and vise versa is that of a bad person who definitely was never brought up or shaped with good manner. And in situations like this parents should be hold accountable.
Although there are always two side of a coin 🪙 to issues of good and bad traits when children or persons ends up behaving badly which most times is seen as circumstances and environmental influences that might lead to why a person choose to exhibit traits that are not similar to that of their parents. But in most cases, if children are not properly trained when they growing up, it then becomes very difficult for them to change once they become adults 👵.
For me I believe that upbringing, awareness, lifestyle and exposure are the basic factors that can help influence the way a child behaves, and a person’s traits is depended on these for that behavioral attitude. We should also know that some traits like kindness, love for one another, having consciousness, exhibiting patience in times of tough situations are characters we tend to acquire during the journey of our lives, and these will definitely help us in boosting our personality of a good human traits.
Many who choose to act badly in character or live as bad traits human beings might have missed it while growing up do to how circumstances played them into believing that life is not fair. They might see themselves as the less privileged, or that what will they gain from being a good person? But that is what it is because when we lack understanding and there is no one to direct us, we keep leaving in ignorance.
And how about those who were good from on set of life and suddenly things turned against them either because of the society or how the economy changed their lifestyle, making them to start living and exhibiting bad human traits. This is still the lack to knowledge of how everything in life is through experience because many who also went through hardships might still continue to live kindly, knowing that life is a journey.
Upbringing matters a lot in life , for as many who were brought up properly will never change easily due to circumstances they come across in life. I have experienced so many obstacles in life both when I was younger and while aging, but none has made me to change from whom I am. I have continued to maintain that character my parents brought me up with which am also passing on to my children. Maintaining a good trait to life is one way that will take us to our dreams in life despite the struggles and change that keep changing our plans.
In all , we should know that experience is the best teacher and should not allow circumstances to make us change from our good human traits to bad human traits. Focus is all that we need as to avoid that change that might not be healthy for our health. Our good hearts ♥️ will definitely bring good to us.
