Turning off the TV while dining

As much as I can remember, I used to eat with my parents in my childhood. During my teenage age, I started taking plates from the table and going to the living room to sit in front of the TV. I used to eat while watching TV. I thought I was utilizing my time. Watching TV and eating.

My dad didn't like it. He always said this is not a good habit. You should sit at a table to eat your meal. And shouldn't watch the TV while you are dining. I didn't disagree with him in those days, but I also thought my idea was better. So, I didn't listen to him.

Nowadays, my son wants to play games and eat food. Obviously, I didn't allow it. I let him watch the news during breakfast while he is having breakfast together at the dining table. At lunchtime, if he wants (He generally doesn't wish to except for holidays), he can watch a movie, but he has to eat together at the table. During dinner time, I close all the screens. Now, only he can see each other's faces and talk while eating together at the table.

Sometimes, he doesn't like the food I cook. I knew he had certain choices. At that time, I let him take food to his game table so he didn't waste it. While playing a game, he can finish his bowl slowly.

I hope my plan works for all generations. I hope I am keeping my father's words now (By taking food together on a table, not in the living room).

Some people stay in mind

When any people do something that hurts you, what do you with those people? The most civilized way is to ignore them.

I don't talk much. So, it's a little difficult to understand whether I'm just not talking or ignoring people. I kept all of them connected in social media. I can't put negative thoughts about any person unless I'm 100% sure I can't tolerate this person anymore. 

I just can't push out people from my head. With time, the way those people act/react to me is important for me. Most of them did such a hateful attitude that their activities took them out of my heart. I needed this, just to say to myself, see what you had thought about this person. This helps me see, the true colour of a person.

Some people proved themself that they have a very good heart. I may not talk with all of them, but they stay in my heart. I like them. Maybe we don't talk, but we can talk anytime like we never stopped talking.

All can’t stay together

No matter how much we expect or needed for getting together and then staying together, is very difficult. People will always have different points of view, different choices, different mood, and different expectations. So, after all hard work, you may bring them together, but they can’t stay together unless they really want to be. When people want to stay together they forgive each other’s mistakes, forget each other’s negative works, and accept all negative things in them. Only love has power to tolerate all these without any pain. It could be love between brothers, sisters, spouses, friends, love birds etc. Except love when people have to accept everything only because of social propaganda or career or money or to achieve something, things became really tough. Sometimes man has no choice but accept all negative things to archive their goal or promise.

For good we have to stay together

No matter, how much we avoid each other, we are living in the same world and sharing everyday each other’s space. Here nothing is only for our good or for others; everything has impact on all, directly or indirectly.

No good work can be continued by only one person. They will need others help to continue their work and spread it. We know all the rocks on this galaxy or beyond that are very far from us. It took several years that for one astrologist can’t see the complete path. So, one may help to start one voyagers and next generation or may took more generations to see the actual picture of a new rock.

You alone can’t do all or all good work. You have to adjust with others for the bigger good. This is our world, we have to live here and have to make it better for our future generation. Let’s help each other to make it better. No matter how much we hate each other, we have to work together. A good work is much more worth than any personal clash.
