Hello Hive Learners Community! Welcome to my blog. Family reunions help us to learn from the life stories and experiences of our elders. With a beautiful feast, we can chitchat in a friendly environment. For a strong follow-up and to train our kids, we should encourage them to sit together. I'm happy to be in a family where I can enjoy breakfast and dinner with my family. I always feel stress-free after enjoying a delicious meal.
The Secret Ingredient Of Happy Family
In Pakistan, I have visited many families where I was a guest. It is a beautiful Pakistani culture and tradition in which family members sit together and discuss family matters. Moreover, younger present their problems and elders help to resolve them. This harmony in the family builds unity and love. A strong family will be able to unite its members on a single table.
From my childhood till now, we all have fixed time for dinner. Everyone has to attend and sit without any hesitation. Once, two cousins fought with each other. Neither I nor my cousin attended dinner that day. My father scolded me on call and forced me to come and discuss what had happened at the dining table. A similar thing was done by my uncle. Our parents encouraged us to sit together. Then they listened to both of us. My cousin was involved in committing mistakes and tussling. My uncle punished him in front of me. Then he advised us, "You both are brothers. If you fight with each other, then it will be easy for enemies to attack you people. Hence, you should live a peaceful life. You are like one body. If one is disturbed, then the whole body will be disturbed. Be united and live a happy life." After listening to these emotional words, I also apologized to my cousin and promised my uncle not to fight again in my whole life. We started dinner and shared beautiful words.
Our Peace talk was only possible due to the family reunion at dinner. This is how our elders like to sort out our issues. Hence each dining table and meal are very important. When we sit with our elders, we feel a flow of knowledge. What we can get from them takes hundreds of years. Technology abuse has separated us, but we should prioritize our dining table where the beginning of each wisdom starts.
Final Thoughts
With Advancement, we are running away from physical interaction. On the dining table, although we gathered, all could be seen busy with mobiles. We should discourage these things. We not only sit at the dining table for dinner but also discuss family matters in front of our elders. They indeed share something that can change our lives. Moreover, the peace and love on the dining table can only be tasted when we experience it. I always feel proud in my family because our youngsters and elders like to sit together for all meals. We are living like a strong family due to this secret.
