"Stress and strain. The two words are part and parcel of everyone in modern life." This is a phrase which everyone accepts without any objection. Is it means that stress and strain were not in the olden periods? The answer is no. Yes, stress and strain has been all the period ever since the humans started to breath in this planet. The thing is those people has overcome that without defining what was that. How they overcome? How they overcome that without even noticing that? The answer is simple. They have a meaningful entertainment.
Here comes a question from your heart. Are we not having a proper entertainment in this modern era.If I say No, nobody would accept that. Even me. We are having the highest elements of entertainment today. We have films, music, sports, serials, talk shows, game shows etc. but still we feel stressed. Its acceptable that today's life is different all together from ancient periods. The workload is enormous but the time is little to do that. Lets think about how our ancestors overcame this. In that period the people were not just entertaining in the entertainment. They are part of it.If not all of them were a part of it but a majority of them. This is evident from the literature. In a family at least one of them would be a singer or dancer or a poet so the family was able to have a meaningful relaxation. This was not a time pass or entertainment. The fact is that there was a pride in that family that their near one performing with talent and a potential to make them happy.
Today, amid all our workloads and tensions we are some how managing to get a free time to relax ourselves. we are listening music, watching movies, watching sports etc. The question is why our entertainment are not able to reduce our stress and strain.The answer lies in the question, how many of ourselves are part of entertainment. The perfect entertainment for this modern era is be a part of your entertainment. The thing is instead of listening music, sing a song with your near and dears. Its a must to spend some time with our family. let it be just a half an hour. If some one is able to do some thing which attracts and keep the attention of the family members without harming anyone for a while its entertainment. It would be easier to keep our mind in this process as it has been delivered by us or some one closer to our heart. This fact can be justified by the fact, that everyone would love to watch what their child do.we must encourage our children to perform before us. we also join them. so in the process of entertainment being a part of it is most important. Family gathering is one among the ways to reduce your stress.
Family meeting sounds good.
ReplyDeleteBut people are so busy to spend time with their children, parents even with spouse at times.
But wishes on any occasion are surely conveyed between family members just the medium differs either thru orkut,sms if lucky then a call while driving.
Really Family sounds gr8 but its painful to miss near & dear ones .
