Forming Character should be our first and foremost aim

The crying need of the day, as we see in present world, is some good and honest humans. In our own country, we find so many corrupted people nowadays. Forget about the common people, the one ruling our country are most corrupted and dishonest. The net result we see is degradation of a generation, humiliation of a race, downfall of a country.

But we are not here to crib on the problems only! We know that our Govt. is useless, but that does not mean that we'll remain silent. If a resolution doesn't come, it must be brought. And we shall bring it, by creating a difference.

Let's solve this in Vivekananda style. According to Swami Vivekananda, the epoch-making world teacher, a solid character must be formed to break all difficulties. To quote His own words:

"Neither money pays, nor name, nor fame, nor learning, it is character that can cleave through adamantive walls of difficulties."

Indeed, yes, we need to form a firm character first. It is our character that will shape our thoughts and these thoughts will shape our actions in return. And it is obvious that our good action will contribute in making a good nation.

How to make good characters? There are many ways. Being with honest people, reading good books, respecting others, loving everyone; these would help to form a good character.

The best way has been directed by Swami Vivekananda Himself: "Character is repeated habits, and habits alone can reform character."

It means, in our day to day life, we have to form good habits. We must not think harm of anyone, come what may- this resolution has to be taken. If we find anyone doing anything wrong, we should assist him doing the correct thing, does not matter what he thinks. This should be the attitude.

A strong character can set a good example for thousand others. Swami Vivekananda is one such example. There are many. Why can't we set such examples?

We can build character and make a difference. Let's start the process, now, to make our planet better.
