FAMILY
In this 21st century, Singapore has become a very prosperous and well- developed country. Many Singaporeans are more and more career-oriented. They might not spend quality time with their family. Most Singapore Family would only meet when there are special occasion like attending to some relatives wedding dinner, lunar new year or Christmas. By only spending such a short time with your family members, the closeness between you and your family will fade off eventually.
In my opinion, spending quality time with family is very crucial, as there is true saying, "blood is thicker than water". Family is believe to be one's support whenever he or she is down. Support in terms of financial, physical, mental and spiritual. The seniors or elders could also give good advices to the young. Just these few years, many social problems, like student suicide cases and MRT suicide cases, are on the rise. Why do these suicide cases exist? Many interviews made by the news reporters reviewed: -Many parents or relatives in the family were unaware of why they committed suicide.-The deceased do not appear unusual these days.This suicide exist because there is lack of communication between family. If those people's family initiate care and concern, they will be able to understand and advice the person at the nick of time. All these problems could be avoided. The family members will not suffer the torments of losing a family member.Therefore i believe it is very important to spend quality time with your family. For example planning weekly family gatherings or family dinner to enhance the relationship between your family members. This makes life more purposeful and more fulfilling. Avoiding unwanted loss due to family to the maximum.Done by: CindyLabels: Family
