Character

A person of character is disciplined and continuously self improving. This person earns immorality and respect of their peers and community. On account of practical wisdom, character is also acquiring education to the service of the community and not shying away from personal sacrifices when needed. The essence of education and religion play major roles in character. It is what we are taught and what we believe in. Some people even base their character off of what they believe their after life will be like. No one can sustain good character at every point in life. But that is not what it is about; the purpose of character is to know how one is made in connection to remaking one’s self. This shows obedience and judgment. Ancient Egyptians learned and practiced truth and justice by way of Iwa (existence), Suune (patience) and Orunmula (wisdom). These gods help them to maintain order and balance. There are many physical, spiritual and physiological benefits for character. Reward and punishment has always been a factor when determining one’s character. This simple quote persuaded me; “a man of character is a man of wealth. If you are not going to strive for good character for others, at least do it for yourself:)
