Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is from Hive Learners which says: Behaviours. So, let's dive in.
Honestly, if I must say my mind, I’ll say the way people behave is not just something they are born with — it’s mostly what they learn as they grow up. What some people don’t know is that from when a child is born, they start learning even if they don’t speak yet. They observe how their parents talk, act, and treat others. If a child grows up in a home full of love and care, and they are taught the word of God and told what is good and bad, when the child grows up, he or she will likely act the same way as their parents and follow their lessons and discipline. But if the home is full of shouting, fighting, and cursing, that child can pick up those bad habits because that’s what they were raised with. Children are very observant and they copy what they see, even without being told.
For example, let’s imagine two kids. One grows up in a peaceful home where the parents talk calmly, avoid anything that can cause fights, and always try to keep peace in the home. While the other kid grows up in a home where the parents fight and shout all the time. The first kid might grow up to be calm, patient, and respectful, while the second kid might grow up to be stubborn, getting angry easily and keep picking fight. The truth is, it’s what they’ve learned by watching while growing up.
However, there are times when good parents raise a child who still goes astray. It happens, and sometimes it’s because of bad friends or peer pressure, that one is learned. And there are also children who didn’t grow up in good homes but still turn out great. Such a child, I’ll say, tries to be a better version of themselves. They saw how bad things were and decided not to follow the same path as their parents. This makes me conclude that our choices also matter a lot. It depends on us whether we want to learn good or bad behaviour, .
So, what really determines the kind of adult someone becomes? It’s not just about their parents. It’s about everything, such as their school, friends, environment, and even the things they watch or listen to. Let’s not forget that society also plays a big role in the lives of children. For example, if a child grows up in an environment where people lie, fight, steal, and do all sorts of bad things without anyone correcting them, they too will start doing it, thinking it’s normal or if they does things that are good them too will also do it thinking it's normal.
But at the end, choice is the most important thing. As we grow up into adults, we start deciding for ourselves without asking for people’s opinions, and even if we do ask, it won’t be much. Parents can give birth to two children, yet one can turn out good and the other doesn’t.
In conclusion, behaviour is something we learn, not just something we inherit except if the behaviour is a good behaviour. No one is born perfect. We can learn, unlearn, and grow into the kind of person we truly want to be. Don't let our past decide our future.
