Virtually it is undeniable that now days we don’t have enough times to have a meal together. Some people even argue that having meal all family together is meaningless in this society any longer. However, as far as I am concerned, strongly believe that it is undoubtedly important to have a meal regularly with family members. The reasons for this are that you can strengthen family bond even closer, as well as heal yourself during the time.
First and foremost, you would be able to talk and communicate consequently while having meals with all members of you family, and it render the atmosphere of the family much better. It is true that as the child is getting grown, each family doesn’t have time to do something together. They are likely to study and work at remote area and live in another town. It means that the time having meal means not only eating something together, but having time to communicate among all members. Consequently, with this frequent communication, family can make the family relationship more comfortable and smooth. For example, the research conducted from the SW university shows that people who have raised in the family that have more than one hour to talk together responded their family mood is great enough. However, people who wouldn’t have time to communicate a lot expressed the low level of the contend to their family atmosthere. It shows that the much time people have to talk with family members, the better family relationship is established. And having a meal together is the perfect to way to have time to talk and communicate together.
Secondly, with having meal together, we can share our concerns, so we can heal ourselves. People in the outside of the family boundary are likely to become a competitive person and enemy against me, and virtually they can betray me whenever. However, I strongly think that the family member is the best friend who can be aside me forever. So, we can exchange our concerns and problems while having a meal together. For instance, I always say my difficulties to my family in the meal place, because it is the only time all the members gather in the one place. They always give me best solutions and encourage me a lot only in my side. If we don’t come together in one place, actually it is hard to empathize and counsel the problem actively, because we are all busy and have different time schedule. Thus, meal time is the healing time to give the worries and take the advice, and consequently overcome the problem and refresh the mind with the sincere encouragement.
To sum up, I firmly maintain that family need to have a meal together. This is because they can make the family relationship much happily and each of the members cures their mind by the member’s prudent advice during the meal time. |
