Hello Hive Learners Community! Welcome to my blog. Family gathering brings many benefits to their members. There was a time when either it was dinner or breakfast, family members were forced to join the dining table at a fixed schedule. As man started making progress, he adopted a busy life. We have time for scrolling on our mobiles, have time to play sports, have time to make dates, but we don't have time to attend a single dinner with families. Seriously, our priorities have been changed with Advancement and Modernism.
Family Gathering Means Grands Peaceful Shelter
Why are our kids less obedient? Why are we not as efficient as our forefathers? Why are we more addicted to bad habits? All these things revolve around family unions. Our kids are crazy because they spend time on mobile screens instead of family gatherings. We fail to get experience from our grandparents because we don't like to sit with them.
My father told me that there was a time the dining table at our house had been packed. But now we all can miss these things and can't do anything about them. He has been effective in stress management, while I'm bad because I spend my time on mobile screening. Like other modern kids now I had missed many family gatherings. It rarely happens that there would be a wedding and the whole family not only participates but also sits together to share many aspects of life. We are eight family members right now, including my uncle's family, but no one can attend breakfast simultaneously.
Last time, I attended a family dinner at my cousin's wedding in 2022. After that, I'm missing. Families are separated in ethics and priorities. Although I requested my uncle and my father for the same dinner and breakfast schedule, it looked impossible because everyone at my home has different routines. Hardly three or four members can sit together for dinner or breakfast; otherwise, no one gives any significance to the family gatherings. It is the main reason I'm more active in friends' unions and invitations.
Final Thoughts
In Pakistan, people are living in poverty and inflation. 1st a single family can't arrange a dinner or breakfast for all family members. Suppose a family member does this through thick and thin, but family members find it uninteresting. Moreover, we have other curtains nowadays. Our kids have forgotten about ethics. If any family gathering happens, then we can find fights, vulgarity,, and other bad things. We need to 1st educate our kids about Unity, then we should teach them the benefits of family gatherings. We can't learn from the experience of our grandparents if we didn't have time to spend with them. We should teach them family ethics and the main family supporting pillars that can build us as a strong nation. Money is not everything but it can help us in making changes. If you can afford a big dinner, then invite all your family members and enjoy the perks. It will be one of the finest things you will ever enjoy in your life.
