The times
are changing as the families move away from each other and join the quest to
make a comfortable living. They are more transforming into the Nuclear
families, which has actually led to a decline in the affinity among the
relatives and the Family members.
Formerly,
the trades of the Families were based on the traditional vocations and
specializations, but now that has all changed and with the better educational
resources available for everyone, people are getting the education according to
their strengths. They go on to take up professions according to the skills they
have developed and honed, this means that they have to wander off far away from
their homes and families in search of
better opportunities. The tryst keeps them busy with their work and they
have lesser and lesser time to socialize with the people at home and with the
relatives.
People in
order to make a better living, they are more involved in their professions and
the work, though most get compensated fairly, this again leaves a vacuum on
account of the family and the community life.
There are
several suggestions on the horizon from the various social scientists, who
advocate a closer family and the community ties for a better and healthy
living. One that can be easily suggested is the organizing parties and picnics
with the family and friends. This would in their opinion bring about a change
in the daily hectic schedule, but also recreate a bonding that can be nourished
only through the personal contacts.
This is rather
a paradox that in times of stressful living people and families are drifting
apart. In my view people should make every effort to really recreate bonds and
relationships that can nurture a peaceful and harmonious living.
