Being human means we all have some fundamental needs in common and one of them is shelter. We all need to survive however survival is not the only desire we all hold in our hearts.
We want to feel protected and secure with our loved ones and a sense of belonging with our family. Hence, family is the bonding and togetherness of each person attached to it. Home and family are the two concepts related to each other like heart and soul.
Usually, majority of us don't realize the value and importance of our home. Most of us remain engaged in building houses and decorating it and sometimes spend whole life doing this without realizing that it will eventually end them into loneliness. Therefore, we should not ignore the affection and connection with family unit.
Constructing house is also a common desire of people and we want to live comfortably and well protected inside our house. However, it should never be at the cost of our family and relationships. So lets join our hands together for building our precious homes instead of constructing and decorating houses. Although no harm in decorating our family home according to our requirements but priority should be remaining in connection and closeness with family and friends.
Each family has its own different style of living depending upon their earnings and expenditures and they prefer to maintain their living standard accordingly. Managing a cozy and comfortable living style has always been an innate desire of each one of us because we all feel like having a place where we could feel the comfort after spending long hours of work outside whole day.
Due to our busy life schedules of every day we all feel that although we are living under one roof as a family but we are disconnected with each other. Parents usually remain unaware about their children whereabouts. Similarly, children also miss their parents presence in homes at the time they are at home and also miss the opportunity of spending time together with their parents.
We do have time for sending text messages, spending time on internet and outside with our friends but we usually forget that eating the last meal of the day with parents and grand parents holds immense value in itself. Presence of parents at their children special events, wishing them success in their each small step in school and work, providing them an opportunity to share their problems and giving them a fair listening ear, taking care during their illness and health, supporting them in their despair moments can bring powerful change in their developmental years.
Home is the best available platform for us to share all these joys and sorrows of life and move hand in hand to face challenges together which will ultimately vanish with time. Hence, we all have to put in focused and shared efforts to build this homely atmosphere again in our lives and not merely focus on creating a big house full of luxuries.
This can eventually turn the table around and enable us to provide a better life to our children and better place for our future generations. This home will have a reciprocal affect on both children and parents and even grand parents who also miss their children in their old age.
So let's build homes, and not just houses of concrete which cannot provide us air to breathe in and the freedom of living and sharing.
Creating a better home can help create better people.
