A NEW BORN HUMAN BABY reunites, merges, and amalgamates the most superb and magnificent features, abilities, and qualities which were designed by that architect behind nature. They are like ingredients of a cocktail developing reasonably well, to its fullest potential, or the cocktail may go astray. How good that cocktail emerges is dependant on how well we parents do our job educating our kids.
Those features, abilities, and qualities are His image. He embedded them in our baby, and wants us parents directly involved ~and not through others~ in the education of our kids by following and acting on His values, principles, and high standards every day of our lives taking into consideration certain conditions.
» it is dependant on how we parents raise our kids and the environment we do it in.
» it is conditioned to the set of values and principles we teach them with words, and we show them with our examples in everyday life.
» it is determined by huge number of experiences we parents accept to expose them to throughout those critically formative years they stay with us.
» it is susceptible to a crucially important ability we parents must have to properly and suitably convey and express our love to them.
All of the above represents a portion of the mandatory conditions with powers to help a newborn baby keep the image embedded the moment he or she arrives to this world, and to our lives. That day marks a beginning for us parents to conscientiously deal with and properly act on each of those so influential conditions.
Those parents who are wiser already know why they must follow, act upon, and pass on to the new being what the architect behind mother nature intended.
It is then up to us parents to construe with an open mind that a new baby is like a big and fat book with thousands of blank pages. Every day, one blank page is written with that day's experiences. Once written, those pages are not easy to erase, amend, or modify. They likely remain unchanged in the way they were written, and consequently, the experiences the baby was exposed to will govern his life.
As life goes on, the baby becomes a teenager and an adult. It is then when he exposes values, principles, and human qualities that the loving and proper dedication his parents invested on him ~and quality of the immediate environment he grew up in~ permited to keep that pristine image given to him the first day he arrived.
these words are to make parents-to-be aware that what starts immediately
after the triumph of life is for them to teach one vital set of principles,
values, and high standards as they appropriately express their love.
should parents succeed doing their job, the written pages will
unimpeachably remain close to the image of a mastermind.
our children are not ours. they come through us,
but they belong to life. our job is to prepare them
for life as intended.

if you bungle raising your kids, whatever
you do well does not matter very much.
