THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY

Family represents a microcosm of the broader human community, encapsulating all its situations. Each individual is offered an invaluable education within a family. If one can receive a proper upbringing in one’s family, one will surely acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for a successful life.

Family represents a microcosm of the broader human community, encapsulating all its situations on a larger scale. Each individual is offered an invaluable education within a family, acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills for a successful life. However, one crucial condition must be met: individuals should avoid falling victim to blind family attachment and instead view their family members like any other human being.

The reality is that the diverse array of character types found in the world is mirrored within one’s own family. The family can be likened to the mythical “Jam-e-Jamshed”, for which it was believed that all the seven heavens of the universe could be observed by looking into this cup. Similarly, a family reflects a spectrum of moral examples. By observing their family and relatives, individuals can gain life experiences and make realistic plans for their own lives.

Unfortunately, only a few people genuinely benefit from this proximity. What causes such deprivation? There is a singular reason: the absence of objective thinking among individuals. People often succumb to bias when thinking about their family members. They overlook their family’s mistakes while adopting an unsympathetic attitude towards those outside the family. They view outsiders from one perspective and their family members from another, resulting in an inability to learn from their own experiences or seek guidance from the lives of others.
