Don't fill your kid's head with religion, don't brainwash their heads with faith about an unseen super human or super power or a God! Instead teach them Philosophy and power of a soul with integrity, teach them how to extract rational beliefs from faith and religion. Teach them Mathematics, Science, Literature, Art, Humanity and the art of living without harming others. It's ok to accept a religion as a cultural and aesthetic aspect, which inherits the attributes of your forefathers' culture.
Teach them how to recognize morals without referring a book with statements and rules of an unseen God. Teach them the meaning of word fraternity and how to respect other living beings (not just humanbeings). Teach them how to enjoy Moonlight sonata of Beethoven, Teach them how to feel the beauty of a poem written by Rumi or Khalil Gibran or any. Teach them the world history, what happened in the Buchenwald camp during the Holocaust days, teach them how Renaissance was happened with the help of Arts and power of rational Human mind.
Teach them if they want to feel the beauty of different cultures, they should accept the differences of others. Meanwhile teach them how to fight with the injustice, how to fight with irrational beliefs and unjust social dynamics, how to fight with corruption and all the wrong doings which are defined as wrong doings with a fair rationality. Teach them it is okay to cry as a man when his mom died, when his true love fails and when his motherland fails. Teach them it is okay to be a warrior as a woman when her rights fail, when her freedom of living is ruined by patriarchy or ruined by any sort of power.
Teach them the power of weapons like Pen, Art and art of communicating. Teach them it's ok to live a short life in a meaningful way and it's useless to live hundred years without doing nothing. Teach them how to find the freedom within self and with others. Teach them earth is just a cosmic dust in this indefinite universe and we are just microbes who exist for a uncountable shorter period when compared to the universal time.
Teach them every moment passing on earth is an opportunity to find the beauty of human experience, so don't waste it for a useless shit. Teach them the art of loving and way of enjoying the precise sublime of human feeling of love!
Dulitha.
