Imagine you have a super cool friend named Krishna, and he's talking to another friend, Arjuna, about how to be a really good person and live a happy life. The Bhagavad Gita is like their special talk! In it, Krishna tells Arjuna some things that aren't very good to do, and it's like rules for being a super awesome kid (and grown-up!). Let's learn about them in a fun way!
(Imagine a picture of a friendly Krishna with a gentle smile)
1. Being Super Grumpy and Sad All the Time 😠🌧️
Have you ever felt really grumpy and didn't want to play? Sometimes, things don't go our way, and it can make us sad. But Krishna tells Arjuna that staying super sad and grumpy all the time isn't a good way to be. It's like having a dark cloud over your head all day!
Why it's not good: When we are always grumpy, it makes us feel yucky inside, and it can make our friends and family feel a little sad too. It's like if you had a yummy cookie, but you were too grumpy to even taste how good it is!
Krishna Says: Even when things are tough, try to find a little bit of sunshine! It's okay to feel sad sometimes, but don't let it stay forever. Like when the rain stops, the sun always comes out again!

2. Being Super Greedy and Wanting Everything for Yourself 🎁 No Sharing!
Imagine if you had a big box of toys, and you didn't want to share even one with your best friend. That's being a little greedy! Krishna tells Arjuna that wanting everything just for ourselves isn't a good practice.
Why it's not good: Sharing is super fun! When we share our toys or our snacks, it makes others happy, and it makes us feel good inside too! It's like when you give a flower to someone, it makes them smile, and that smile makes you happy too!
Krishna Says: The world is like a big playground, and everyone needs to get a turn with the toys (and yummy treats!). Sharing makes everyone happy!

3. Getting Super Angry and Fighting All the Time 😡💥
Have you ever gotten so angry that you wanted to shout or even push someone? Sometimes, when we don't get our way, we can feel really mad. But Krishna tells Arjuna that being super angry and fighting all the time isn't the way of a good hero.
Why it's not good: Fighting hurts! It hurts our friends, and it hurts our own hearts too. It's like trying to build a tall tower by throwing the blocks at each other – it will just fall down!
Krishna Says: It's better to talk about our feelings and try to understand each other, just like when you use your words to tell your friend what you want to play. That way, everyone can have fun!

4. Being Super Lazy and Not Wanting to Do Anything 😴 No Helping!
Imagine if your mom or dad asked you to help put away your toys, but you just wanted to lie down and do nothing all day. Krishna tells Arjuna that being super lazy and not wanting to do our work or help others isn't a good thing.
Why it's not good: Everyone has their own special jobs to do, even little heroes like you! When we help out, it makes our family and our team happy. It's like if everyone in a superhero team did their part, they could save the day much faster!
Krishna Says: Being active and doing our tasks with a happy heart is important! It helps us grow stronger and makes the world around us better.

Let's Be Super Good Heroes!
So, just like Krishna told Arjuna, we can try our best to not be super grumpy, greedy, angry, or lazy. Instead, let's try to be happy, share, talk nicely, and help out! That's how we can be super good heroes in our own lives and make the world a brighter and happier place for everyone!
