Family...The Need Of Today's Youth.

I was amazed to learn how can someone get so influenced by a movie to write a blog. Though I couldn't manage to watch the movie abut after reading the book
" NAMESAKE ," this is what I felt.........

The single most precious obsession in life for all of us is to be loved. We have an emotional confidence when we know that we're part of something special and that what we do matters. Family bonding gives us that strength and charisma, with an appreciation for life and hope to go on.
One of the common tragedies that hurts many families today is that they are being separated and torn apart. There is a loss of value and strong family bonding as they become only people living under the same roof. And who suffers the most? The children.
When family members bond they keep their identity as a family unit among the world of families, as people who will support each other through everything. The members retain their confidence that even though the world around them can be aggressive and cruel, they are safe because they have each other.
They may not have an abundance of earthly wares, but there is a love within their home that rises far above the need for material things. It's forever; it does not rust or warp or fade. It's a foundation that each life can depend on.
When parents separate, they often neglect the damage that it does to the innocent children. The separation forces them to lose the only thing they had, craved for and survived with, and that was the bond of love between all of them.
Parents need to recognize this and work hard at keeping a close relationship with the children. They need to put aside their own desires and focus on the needs and desires of the children until they are emotionally and mentally strong enough to know without a doubt that there is love between them and each of their parents.
Often, children will cling to each other and become each other's support for life. This bonding between them will make them strong and able to cope with other obstacles up ahead.
Many people have never suffered with this curse and have enjoyed the natural bonding or love that holds the family unit together. This is priceless and their lives will be testimony to its benefits.
Bonding is a love that lasts forever, and regardless of what comes against us, we know that we have someone who will support us and love us through it. It's the one staple of life that helps to mould us into healthy and productive adults.
And we might not win the Nobel Prize but we can stand tall and say, I am Loved.
