"The little boy of our story loves his mother and father very much. They taught him the values of love, respect, friendliness, self-discipline and loyalty. One of the first things they taught him was love, because they loved him very much. His mother and father taught him that caring goes beyond loyalty and respect. They taught him that caring meant love for friends and neighbors and a lifelong commitment of love for family! Therefore, this little boy had love in his heart and the principals to got with it." parents love us because we are the force that is going to make our society a safe and workable place to live in. Why do we believe them? We believe them because they right. Our parents have a head start on schools and friends when it comes to teaching us anything in life, because we are around them for the beginning of our lives. Oure parents want us to learn from their experience. When we're around them they are doing the right things. So why do we go out and listen to others and do the things we do? Therefore, we see that this little boy knew love and loved himself. As he got older, he stopped trusting his love and stopped being honest with himself. It started with the LITTLE LIES, which is a start to something bigger. You can't tell little lies because they will become big ones. It is very important to tell the truth and be truthful with yourself! Having self-discipline and controlling yourself and your temper, is it hard? no, just think of what tyour momand dad taught you. One of the reasons it becomes hard is because they don't want to take the time to remember what their mom and dad had taught them. RESPECT,FIRST. We have to respect our parents and have a respect for life! This little boy was taught all of these values so what went wrong? What went wrong was that he followed the short cuts the world offered and wanted to go forward fast. Bad choices are a side effect of wanting to go too fast, and not listening to mom and dad. Our parents sometimes get onto us lots and tell us, "don't do this and that," THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT. They love us and want the best for us, because of that; they try to ghuide us in our choices. Keep it in mind and never forget when your parents tell you something. What they tell you is for the best and it's for your own good. They're not going to tell you something that's going to hurt you in life, but when you don't listen to them and things happen, the first thing that come to mind is your parents. So many men and women have said to themselves, "They told me so. If only i would have listened." This happens a lot in the back of our heads. We tell ourselves, when our parents are trying to tell us something, we tell ourselves, "They think they know everything." Well, they do have about a 20- year head start on you. When you start questioning yourself and the balues you were taught, sometimes, that's all it takes. "That little boy started questioning his values he was taught. He started with the small things, like a little lie, and he got away with it. He knew in his heart that it was wrong. Did his parents tell him not to lie? Sure, but in the back of his head he thought wthat it was "slick" to get away with that little lie as some of his friends did. The little lie turned into stealing a little something when he went into stores with his parents. Getting away with it was a big thrill. Next came "playing hooky" from school. At the time, he thought that was fun because his friends were doing it as well. He started making choices that would change his life forever. He forgot all about self-discipline and self-respect." When the selling of drugs came into the little boy's life and that was the worst thing that could have happened to him, because when a person gets int that life, you don't just hurt your parents, you hurt the parents of other families and friends as well. You can't say you love yourself and sell someone poison, something that you very much know could make them ill, if not kill them! All of that evil for a dollar- that's value a person is willing to put on a person's life! You weren't taught like that, so use what your parents gave you, common sense and good values, because in the long run, they ar ethe ones that will pay for it. "next, for the little boy, came the girls and the cars. He wanted every so-called "good-looking" girl he could see. He had to bring many people and a lot of families pain and grief to have the things he wanted. So....that's the way that little boy got his. There was no other way of getting around it. He had to jurt people to get the things he wanted; people didn't just give him the girls and the cars for free." " It's time like that when you have to put your self-discipline into play. You know what to do, because your parents taught it to you. Some things in life are not worth having right now, you just have to wait your turn. If you wait your turn and get it the right way, by hard work, staying focused and not giving up on your dreams, you will enjoy then and appreciate them more, because you won't have to look over your shoulder. Before you know it, greed sets in, and that's the worst thing that can happen to a person. All of the values that you we taught go right out the window. When greed is in your heart, it becomes the only thing that you know and have place in your heart for. The short cut world that leads to a short lifespand becomes your life. When greed jumps on you, it's hard to even love yourself, because it's not jsut words coming out of your mouth, IT BECOMES A PART OF WHO YOU ARE> A greedy person stops caring for people, everything becomes "all about you." When you become a greedy person, you feel that it's "my way or the highway." and YOU WILL MEAN IT from your heart. Greed can make you do some very bad things ; to people, friends, as well as your own family. Trust that little boy, he's been there. Greed will make you "know it all" and want even more. A greedy person has a HARD HEART, something i wouldn't wish on anyone. Who pays for it? You pay for it. Your parents pay for it. At the end of the day, you will hurt your parents more than you hurt anyone else. The first thing they taught you is to love life and people. Always respect that teaching. Think about it- how would you feel if your child was that evil person that went against everything you taught them? When we choose to ignore the teachings of our parents, there is no limit to the evil we can do. Is that what you want our of life? Don't get defeated so early in life wanting to be something that you were not raised to be. You were raised to be better that that little boy who went against everything that he was taught. Give yourself a chance at life. It's our there waiting for you, so do the right things in life and get it. "The little boy saw so many people he grew up with died or were killed. In the kind of life he was involved in, it was a sad world, lots of killings, and families hurt over poison being soft for an easy life. The little boy hurt his parents and other parents so badly with what he did that is shames him to think about it. So many members of his family and his friends that were in their graves.....it made him sick to think about it. This was the life he wanted? He didn't think so.
All of it came from that first little lie that he told. That lie grew just like any other living thing, and it took him to places that he didn't want to go. It took him to places that he wished he never went! Trust me, that little boy learned it first hand.
