What is the innate nature of a child or any human being? And how parents take it down?
⦾ Innate nature of a human soul:
~ The innate nature (means natural inclination) of a child or any human being is the inborn nature that every human being is born with. Just as light can’t be separated from the sun, the same as this inborn nature is the inseparable part of any human soul.
It is a inner state in which a human soul naturally feels or chooses goodness, compassion for others, what is real or genuine, what is right over what is wrong, even before prior experience from the outer world.
This innate nature of a child is pure and uncorrupted at birth, and it remains pure unless being influenced or altered by external factors, like family, culture, society, etc.
And over time, it can be maintained or corrupted based on upbringing, environment, knowledge, and their own choices.
If uncorrupted, this innate nature can spark a seeker within, leading a human being to seek deeper truth of life, love, meaning, and being.
It can act as human drive for knowledge, reflection, and deeper meaning.
This “inner compass” sows a seed of curiosity in a human being, making them question:
Where did I come from?
What is my purpose?
What is true and false?
And this curiosity lets them wonder and reflect on this awe-inspiring universe, which mirrors the divine gift of intellect and imagination, inspiring creativity in them to produce unique solutions to the problems.
Do you know, this innate nature can turn a child into a seeker of truth, a creator of creativity, and a explorer of wonderful ideas, if guided by parents in a right way?
⦾ How parents eradicate a child’s innate nature❓
~ A child is inborn with this natural inclination, their deep inner voice, letting them choose goodness and kindness, and making them curious about their surroundings that spark a flood of wonderful questions in their innocent mind.
Now think…
Who is the first to answer their questions and fuel their curiosity?
It is their “parents“. Their parents are the first who shape their playful curiosity into a meaningful creativity.
But what if they obliterate it by avoiding their meaningless yet wonderful questions…?
What if they forget that this curiosity is actually a mold of their destiny…?
And that they have to guide and direct their curiosity into creativity…?
What if they turn their curiosity into a never-ending fear, instead…?
Yes, fear. Majority of parents knowingly or unknowingly instill a fear into their child.
How?
Simple, by eradicating their innate nature.
Once a child ask, they are shut. Again they ask, they are shut. They don’t stop; they ask again and again and again. And the result is the same.
Instead, they are taught, just to listen, not to question. Just to follow, what the brainless crowd does, not to break the convention.
Now the twist is, when they grow and go outside, meet with their peers, what should they do?
Questioning. Interacting. Wondering. Right?
But they fear… they fear to question, even sometimes avoid interaction.
They fear to question the conventions, instead, they start following it quietly, even they could still have a flood of questions overwhelming their mind; yet they choose to keep quiet and follow what others do.
Is it what they were meant to…? No.
They were always meant to questioning, wondering, exploring new ideas, thinking outside the box.
But they were never answered before, now they dare not ask, even when they can.
But because their curiosity is obliterated to the point that they don’t even show willingness to ask.
And this is how parents take down a child’s innate nature, their curiosity, and ultimately a spirit of creativity.
Now a child becomes a mature human, what they could be and what they are…
Yet, if they choose their innate nature by their own choice, they can protect it, they can break the wiring that’s been falsely conditioned for a long while.
And the result, they can become, they were always meant to be.
A seeker. A creator. An explorer. An innovator.
And ultimately, a “Human”.
