However, this is directly related to the type of enviroment at home provided by everybody especially the elder family members. Imam al-Sadiq (as) says: "In every family if there exists no fellowship and adoptibilty, it becomes deprived of Allah's blessing and bounties." - Usul Kafi, Volume 11, p. 119. Also Samuel Smiles, the famous author says: "In any family where love and order is present, it's members will have a daily life of righteousness and good deeds, it's head is wise and kind hearted.

One can expect to see happy, healthy and useful children come out of it. They, in turn, will follow their parent's ways and will provide happiness for themselves as well as people around them." The Book of Ethics, Part I, p. 41. Of course, at times one finds misleading factors outside the home causing the youth to go astray by surrendering to their sensual desires.

That is the time when, if the parents don't come in and involve themselves to save their children, they will fall to ill repute and will be destroyed forever. 13. Hormany and Co-existence The Father: Now that we are talking about the family enviroment, I should tell you: The green family tree will bear sweet fruits only when its roots i.e. parent are compassionate and its branches i.e. children have understanding.

This tree, in whatever home happens to be, will bring about a warm and pleasant atmosphere of love. The sweet fruit of such a tree is comfort and happiness, because the kindness of parents and the understanding of children bring harmony and peace. That, in return, prevents creation of problems and misunderstadings. Thus, no dissatisfaction and hardfeelings will appear among them, with such eo-existence, every one will discharge his own duties and will respect the right of others.

The father fulfils the duties of fatherhood; the mother that of motherhood; and the children behave like children. Oh! how fortunate is a family which comprises such members and how blessed is a house that has such inhabitants. The Child: Your conversation having such sweet words and appropriate metaphor is every fascinating for me and in respect of content too it is meaningful and perfectly correct. There is no doubt about it's wisdom. 14. Revenge and Forgiveness The Father: My child!

When a person insults your mother or father or even treats them with disrespect, it is possible that because of natural instinct they may keep it in their heart and may look forward for a proper opportunity to take revenge from the person.
