Unfortunately, most of us have become dependent in this life with regard to many things in our daily lives. Each of us wants someone to serve him and meet his requests, as if we have a feeling of not being able to complete the tasks ourselves, but we are no longer trying from the ground up. If something breaks in our In the house, we immediately contact the maintenance workers, even if the issue requires only dismantling and installing two “screws.” And if we needed something, we rushed to order “Delivery” from the “supermarket” which is steps away from our house. Also, we no longer ask our children to help us spend our needs. How are we going to do that when our children or our generations apply to them the Egyptian proverb that says, “I brought you, Abd al-Ma’in, you appointed me, you came, Abd al-Ma’in, you want to suffer”?!

They need someone to serve them, fulfill their requests, and bring them everything while they are sitting in their places, even a drink of water (except from the mercy of my Lord).

Here, someone can say that these are the advantages that God has blessed us with, so what is the harm or impediment to using them in our lives?!!This is a sound point of view that I do not oppose, but I only criticize. It is considered a double-edged sword, and despite the presence of many positives in it, it is considered a curse in other aspects, and it has many disadvantages that may affect our interactions in our daily lives and with others. Because of our heavy dependence on technology and auxiliary labor or delivery and loading workers, many diseases appeared in us due to lack of movement, so we became lazy and lethargic and feel tired when doing the simplest activities. Eating and drinking and delivering it to us while we are sitting motionless, and when we reach the house, we want someone to carry the things for us inside and arrange, describe and control them.

You can imagine, dear reader, that we have lost many of our life skills due to dependence. We no longer know how to repair a “light bulb” that broke down at home, nor how to take care of planting and roses, or washing cars and arranging clothes, and we do not realize that these simple activities may be a reason for emptying A pent-up energy or helps to feel a sense of belonging to our homes, possessions, our world, and our surroundings. Dependence is not limited to the family, the home, or the social environment only. Rather, it has gone beyond the matter and reached our relationship with our homeland and patriotism. It is only the beginning until we find a completely dependent generation on its family in dressing, serving, feeding and making all Something present and answered in front of him, and tomorrow he will become dependent on the government to meet his desires and needs without realizing that he has to give to reach his goal, and that the effort we make to reach our goals is the most beautiful feeling we may feel in our lives, but to get everything easily and simply, this advantage is Which made us lose a lot of feelings and gratitude to ourselves and others.

And because most of our generations have become dependent on their parents, they no longer feel what their parents offer for them, so they are not ready to say the word (thank you) even if you bring them money, because they believe that you have a duty to perform it, and that you as the breadwinner of the family is obligated to provide everything for them and that it is not a favor There is no generosity from you and love in them, and this is a serious issue that made our generations lose gratitude for those who provide them with assistance and serve them. In this article, but we wanted to put a question mark on the actions we do every day, let's try to change it and see if it made us lose a lot of fun or increased it.
