In earlier centuries when technology did not take over, the atmosphere of every house was very different from today’s atmosphere. Parents or guardians of the house, used to gather up a meeting within the family to enhance the attachment and love in the family members. They discussed their life issues and asked for suggestions and much more. You might call it traditional or old fashioned but in reality, it was the best thing about being in a family. There were no mobile phones or multimedia gadgets to waste time on. So the meaning of the term "family" was complete.
Although we have every facility today but still we lack something important. And that is the "family time" in our lives. We have become so busy in our world or call it unnecessary activities that we forgot our parents, our siblings or you can say the entire kinsfolk. We live together under one roof as if its just a formality nothing else. There are some youngsters, that don’t even know what their parents profession is. All they care about is their wishes being fulfilled and theirschool fee being payed. If you ask them about the life of their parents, they will start beating around the bush. But If someone asks them about their favorite actor or musician, they will tell you their whole life story. Today we search for role models but we fail to analyze that our best role models are our own parents. Their lives are no less than a life of a super hero in movies. They struggle their whole life earning for whom? All those compromises are made for whom? For us! So that the difficulties they have faced and the mistakes they have committed in their time, we stay safe from it. Yet we don’t give them theimportance and love they deserve. Is this fair with them? Think about it.
Family is the biggest gift in life for an individual. We might not realize because it is said to be a rule of life that once you get your hands on something, you forget its worth. Ask the orphans, how miserable their lives are. How difficult is it to gain respect of others for them. Thank God we are born in a family. We should definitely take out time from our busy lives and sit with them in order to see them happy. As our smile is so precious to them, their smiles should be our main priority. Nothing will go wrong if we just sit with them for an hour or two once a day and discuss. What do you think they want from us in future? Our money? No! They just want our time and love. The same way when we were young, and we wanted theirs. Sit with them and be eager to know about them. Our parents life stories and experiences are very essential to know in order to compete in the coming era. Today we don’t feel its worth. Because right now we have them and their support with us. But one day or the other, they will leave. And all that will be remaining is their ideas and advises. Tomorrow when we will be in position to make decisions independently, their experiences will benefit us a lot. This is the only reason why they tell us about their past. In addition, sitting and talking with your family members, makes you feel comfortable. Because in this whole world, if there is someone who actually cares about us and our problems is our family. No one else. They are our only true well-wishers in this world.
To encapsulate, I would just recommend every individual to stop using your phones when your parents are talking with you and explaining something. Talk to them happily not forcefully. They are not your enemies. And as far as their strictness is considered, that is just for the betterment of us. Obey them and give them time and this will help to bring back the love and attachment of the family. Only then the family would actually be able to be called a family. A HAPPY FAMILY!
