We have often heard the term "happy family" in our daily lives or on television, and it has always been a goal or let's say a dream for many of us to reach this result in our homes and family relationships, but despite our continuous search for that goal, we did not realize our need The availability of something important during this research process, which is knowing the terms and form of the (happy family) in proportion to the nature of our time and the many synonyms we live in at the present time that overlap in the definitions and elements of family happiness.
Some may believe that the happy family in this time is those images on "Social Media" that show the extent of love between members of the same family and the many gifts, gifts and surprises that they express to each other and that social media is full of, or others find that it lies in the many travels of the family. And the possession of a lot of money, cars and jewelry, and the availability and availability of everything for its members, and others may see that the happy family is that family whose members live together under one roof, whose members harmonize with each other, forming a panel of mutual understanding, and a category that believes that happiness is represented in being able to reach the highest Peaks and ranks of success, while another category decides that stability and psychological comfort are the way to happiness and nothing else.
All of these examples may be summed up in a dialogue between a husband and wife who shows him pictures of Messi's family, sharing his joy while realizing his dream of winning the World Cup, and telling him: "Look at how he left the world, including it, for a moment of his happy family." Or those comparisons between the lives of celebrities. And the rich, as they draw the shape of their families on publications and “stories” on social networking sites.
If only the matter stopped at the limit of celebrities and the comparison between them, but rather extended to the belief of many that the happy family is what resembles the family of their neighbor (Umm Muhammad), who does not find in her account on “Instagram” except pictures and videos of celebrations and birthdays or sings her love for (Abu Muhammad) and that he The best of men, and he exchanges love and respect for her and takes advantage of every opportunity to present happiness to her and her children. Our families do not publish or document it, and we always content ourselves with publishing what shows that we are in heaven and there is no one with us.Unfortunately, in this time, the shape of the happy family has changed, and everyone believes that the fake form spread on social media is the perfect form for the happy family, and everyone compares himself, his achievements, the extent of his love and attachment to his family, and the way he treats them or their treatment of him with these truncated images or clipped videos, and that is why they are absent from us. Happiness and we missed its concept and lost the way to reach it.
I will not enter into miserable ideals, as I have always accustomed you to the realistic proposition and nothing else;
From my point of view, the happiness of the family lies in its true understanding and acceptance of the variables and circumstances of the days, as it is a day at the top and another at the bottom, and this is what we must agree on and build our families on its foundations, so that we live together under one roof instead of being dispersed in a wide electronic space that is difficult Keeping up with him and comparing the situation with him, and you will be a loser with him in all cases with all the falsehood that is published on him.
