Our entire life we have been encircled
around by gadgets and technologies that we are still getting a hang of, but our
succeeding generation seems to have mastered many such obstacles that took us a
while to figure out in click of their fingers.
It is something to be very proud of to
see the forth coming generations having a faster and quicker approach towards
technology. However, in this race of time and technology we often forget to
communicate with others who hold integral positions in our lives. One is very
well aware of the challenges posed to the present world in terms of education , jobs and other
requirements, but one thing we forget is that technology is a means to provide
help to us, instead we tend to become slaves of this technology.
No sooner do we realise that it’s not we
who run it, but technology which is actually controlling our lives. In this
horde, we often tend to neglect friends, family and relatives and our
communication with them sort of breaks or takes a sabbatical leave, which most
of us never realise.
Especially parents of nuclear families
who are immersed in their 9 to 5 jobs, where they don’t even make time for
their own kids should realise it might be a beginning to a very dark tomorrow
that they are unable to figure out. Buying expensive gifts, taking out for
lunch, or keeping a 24 hour maid to look after your child, does not substitute
for a mother’s care, fathers affection, and a complete family attention that
usually kids look for, not an expensive gift to substitute for their parents
presence in their lives.
India has registered in the past few
decades a number of families who are turning into family counsellors for help
to restore their family life. It is highly essential to note that work is
definitely a requirement for all to survive n this world, but it cannot become
an everything in life. We also have several other set priorities that we need
to figure out and take out time for.
Parent
and child relationship is similar to that of a tree’s trunk with its boughs
and leaves. The stronger the trunk the better support it will provide for its
branches and leaves and also protect them from breaking off faster. Families
are a gift of God, let us respect this gift bestowed on us and take care of it
till the end of our lives.
