▶ Your Answer :
Whether to
spend time with family or stay at work could be a difficult problem for every
workers around the world. If they choose one they have to give up the other. If
I were asked to choose between two options, I would say spending time with
family is more valuable than putting more effort into working. There are
several reasons as follows.
To begin with,
when people are with their loved ones, they can strengthen their emotional bond
and feelings of security in their relationships. It gives them more chances to
socialize with their loved ones by getting to know and understand each other
while spending more time with them. Being with people they care about tend to
prevent them from feeling lonely in today’s cynical society. For instance, when
my brother was in high school, she often felt depressed thinking that his life became
an exhausting routine. It was difficult to make friends he could rely on since
all of them seemed busy and indifferent to others, treating each other as rivals.
Fortunately, he was able to get over his feeling of loneliness by talking to
our family over dinner. He was able to seek for advice and obtain words of comfort
simply by spending more time with family. By doing this, he was able to connect
with them more easily and promote their relationships.
Secondly, when
people spend time with their family, it can contribute to an increase of
happiness in their life. When people have a chance to do something with their
family, they choose to do something different from what they would do in their
usual routine. A new experience tends to prevent them from feeling bored in
life. For example, when I was in middle school, I used to feel depressed for
running around in circles every day. For I felt huge pressure that I had to outdo
others, I spent whole day studying all academic subjects. Fortunately, I was
able to bear such pressure and stress in a safe way by spending weekend with my
family. Whenever the weather was fine, we went camping and ate delicious food
there. By doing this, I was able to let off some steam and relax. If I had not
spent time with my family, I would have not escaped from my exhausting routine.
To sum up, I believe
spending time with family is more beneficial than being at work for it can
increase overall happiness and strengthen emotional bond and feelings of
security. All in all, the importance of family should not be overlooked.
