Charity begins at home

Short Story 2
Once, there lived a much-disciplined school teacher. He would often catch children playing in the fields and teach them a lesson, scold them and ask them not to disturb others. Children didn’t like him much and feared him. One day he slapped a child for playing and shouting, in the class. The parents of the children were very upset and decided to talk to the teacher for being impractically disciplined.
The parents went to the house of the teacher. There, to their surprise, a completely changed and unexpected scenario presented itself. It seems, the teacher had two children, who were making all the noise in the world, shouting, yelling, and doing things like that. What was surprising was that the teacher was quietly sitting on a chair and was helplessly shouting, asking his children to stop making noise. This was quite opposite of what the parents had expected. They had thought that being a disciplinarian; the teacher’s house would be as silent as a tomb. But, it wasn’t silent by any means and looked out of control for the teacher.
However, the teacher welcomed the parents and asked for their reason to be there. The father of the child replied that - sir, you love discipline and for this reason, you keep on slapping kids in school. But, looking at your house, I suggest that you must first instill discipline in your own house, as you know that charity begins at home.
The teacher was spellbound; he didn’t know how to respond. From that day he started teaching discipline to his own sons rather than teaching it to his students. Indeed. Charity begins at home, he thought.

He develops an emotional connect with his family members. As he grows us, he starts understanding about the relationships that he has with other people. This helps him in build connect with other people. He makes new friends at school. Friends are those people with whom we share emotional bond and connect. We share both our joys and sorrows with our friends.
When a person grows up as an adult, he enters the world and get in touch with the society. This provides him with great opportunity to develop relationship with people outside his family and friends. He develops a sense of responsibility towards the society.
This sense of love and responsibility towards the society is a natural extension of his love for his family and friends.
A person who avoids his responsibilities and disregards parents and family members is an unkind person. Public donation of huge sum of money to charitable institutions for the welfare of public is merely a show. Charity and love is rooted in the form of affectionate relationships among family members and close friends. A person who cannot love his parents and other people with whom he has shared the most important moments of life, such person cannot really love other.
