 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
The secret of modern moral education is to produce results by means of good habits which were formerly produced (or attempted) by self-control and will-power. Courage due to the will produces nervous disorders, of which "shell-shock" afforded numerous instances.

* a brief comment
When children are young, they are naturally receptive, making it relatively easy to instill good habits in them. However, bad habits developed during childhood are extremely difficult to correct once they reach adulthood.
Such bad habits can be formed not only at home but also through school education. In fact, since compulsory education is overseen by the state, if the government is undesirable, there is a risk that children may be instilled with bad habits under its influence.
