Human nature varies from person to person. Some being introvert and some being extrovert,some being isolaionist and some being social, some preferring other and some preferring themselves and some loving spending time with people while some believing in quality self time. All of them are valid and right in their own perpsectives as they hve their own theories to support them. Urge for having a family can only be asked from one who have remained deprived of it throughout while importance and need of self-time can only be asked from person who hardly get time for himself.
In my university, I have observed all such kind of people. When I used to giggle around a gang,spend time with a coterie of friends and go to meal with whole group, there were some who preferred to wander alone. I always astonished how people eat alone. I remember once I was in hostel and my friends have to visit their homes, I skipped meal of a whole day and kept laying on bed . It was because I have habit of eating collectively and same applies in home as well.
Dinner is the time when we get a chnce to meet every member of family. During daytime, everyone stays busy with his own piece of work. Dinner is the time when we sit together,talk about day,discuss problems and share gossips. Missing the family dinner is like missing the family most vital and crucial time.
Not from today but from start, we used to wait for father to come from his work. Usually our time is fixed . We have dinner just after evening in early hours of night to give our stomach sufficient time to digest it before we lay down to sleep. But if he gets late, we don’t take our dinner rather we wait for him. This have been something like a tradition for years. So in short we don't take our dinner individually and separately. We prioritise taking our meal with the whole family around.
Firstly, meal is enjoyed in company. If you have people around you , taste of food multiplies . Food is to cherish moments and company increases the cherishing. This is my pov. Many ones like seclusion in food while some are forced to have meal alone due to circumstances. But I believe in food with people.
Secondly, family dinner is more than a dinner . It is a family get together. Through this , we get chance ti collectively hear and talk to all. We share our daiky routine and take guidance. The family dinner is the best time and place for homial decisions.
Thirdly, with the speed families are cutting off and the members are going into psychological seclusions, family get together has become inevitable to listen each others. Social media and internet has secluded the family members from each other. Work routines have also rendred their services in this seclusion. Everyone is bisy with his own matters and finds himself totally alone when he faces hardships. This is indispensable for integrity of familiar bonds.
Fourth, family dinner induces discipline as well. Because respecting everyone’s routine , each one tries to reach on time. First this helps in managing house chores on time. Kitchen does not remain in fuzzy condition all the time. Everything remains in it order.
