Do we all remember the old stories of Grandma and Grandpa or the 'Panchatantra' which we used to read and enjoy as young children.
I am sure we all used to love the characters of those stories and the way the stories ended with a moral lesson.
The crux of the whole story lied in the moral teachings taught by the particular story.
May be at a tender age when everything looks rosy and leading a life looks so smooth many of us would have not realised the true depth of the moral of the stories.
As we grow older we come face to face with the true realities and the hardships of everyday life.
It is at these times that the moral of those stories and their characters can be associated with the reality and become relevant. An in-depth understanding of those morals could act like a direction forward.
As grown-ups we always feel that those stories were meant for children but if we start reading any story written for children, we shall realise that many questions which are unanswered in our lives have a solution hidden in the moral of the story.
Sometimes the solution to several problems lies in the things which we can understand later because of the maturity, experience and facing the hardships and reality of life and the ability to associate the morals with reality.
So let us once again sometimes go back and enjoy the beautiful childhood stories by understanding the characters and the morals of the stories which holds relevance in our lives.
