I AM HOME !

By: Asma Shums,
Normally we hear this, as father enters the house, he says I am home. The children also shout, one I am home even if we may not say it aloud but every house member has the same words in the heart that I am home when they come home. When atmosphere, relationships are healthy, good we are very happy to come home, whether we go out for work or shopping or meeting friends, we are at some point, long to go home relax.
Lucky and not so lucky ones.
Some of us are very lucky to have a home to return to, some of us are even luckier to have a blessed home. Some of the people are not so lucky to have a home where they would love to go back. The home our home is not only made of house structure or beautiful things and comfortable amenities only. Our home is made with people living in harmony. We all living with love, peace and understanding. This requires efforts from all the members of the family.
The parents and children
As the main motive of this series is to understand the importance of the parents and children in the home and relationships. We all know that family is the first base for a healthy society. If families are good, they can prepare good citizens for the society, town, country and world as a whole.
The world is a global village
In this modern advanced twenty-first century, we just do not live in other town but we live in another country, away from our birthplace. We are influenced by the way other people and communities and nationalities live. Every human being has hidden qualities inside, good or bad. He or she themselves does not know. These qualities come out when challenging situations arise.
The foundation
The foundation of our character should be so strong, rightful that even if we are affected by outer factor good or not so good or bad or questionable we will not misbehave we will not waiver from the path of right ways. And that my friend is the most important job of all parents and guardians. We all have to create a better place to live for all of us and its requires each and every person’s contribution we all need to give that extra percentage, we need to go that extra miles, we all need to think out of the box, we all have to do some extra, take our responsibility. We have to think of larger picture. We have to cultivate some unselfishness, put others first. It will spread, this goodness will definitely change the map of the world we will be able to put on end to all these unnecessary killings and shameful events.
It is sad
If the teacher would have thought that my duty as a teacher is to respect all religions and teach my students that to these unpleasant condemning horrible things would not have happened. If the person young boy would have thought about consulting the elders, authoritative persons instead of acting on his own. One incident affects many lives and changes history sometimes it is like throwing a stone in peaceful water.
