Would you acknowledge your love for your father only on father's day?


Introduction

Celebrating the special days in order to acknowledge a relationship is the changing trend. People do celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Women’s Day, Friendship Day, Valentine Day etc. Every such day is to acknowledge and portray the importance of the relationship. This new trend of celebrating the relationship on specific days is again a product of westernization. This concept was not prevalent in our good old culture and tradition. It is our youth who found this trend more exciting to dedicate special days to the relationships. Still, do we need these dedicated days to acknowledge a relationship?

Yes

- It is a way of communicating our love, care and affection towards our relationship who matter us the most.

- It is a way to spend some cherishing time with our loved ones.

- These days are special moments of passion and enjoying them by receiving gifts is always special.

- Every day cannot be celebrated, if at all done so, it will not have any importance. Hence, dedicated days emphasize the importance of that relation.

- The way we celebrate Birthday every year just to remember our existence and pleasure with our loved ones so long, similarly, it is a way of expressing our existence to our near and dear ones.

No

- The relationships are not subjected to specific days. They need the same amount of love, care, affection and respect throughout the year to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

- Spending time with our loved ones is more inclined towards the mood of the person and not something related to specific dates of the year.

- The relationship are not festivities that have a historical significance. Celebration on specific dates of the year are done for the events having some relevance from the past, but the relationships are the essence of our present life which is spreading its fragrance round the year.

- The specific days for relationship cannot be compared with Birthdays. Birth could be limited to a single day celebration, but how can we restrict our affection for our mother and father to one single day of the year?

- Celebrating on dedicated days is like a robotic life when the events are remembered by our alarms set up on mobiles and systems. But these celebrations lck the emotions which is the soul of a cherishing life.

Conclusion

Though we dedicated every single day of life to a relation existing on earth, still we would be appreciating all other relations equally on that day. There is no significance of such a celebration which is more mechanical initiated by a phone alarm and ending up with a formal dinner. What actually the life demands is the love and affection which is expressed in each and every small and big moves that we make throughout the day. Giving dedicated days or not is of no relevance till we lack the dignity and respect for that relation within our heart.

  • Love is always present in the air. The love for parents, siblings and friends never end. However, people need some ways to express their love in special ways. Coming to the celebration of father’s day, the concept is adopted from the western countries. It is celebrated on third Sunday of June. Not only the father’s day but the western culture has given many other special occasions to celebrate. It is remarkable that now we have got a special day for everyone.

    Let us start with the example of Rakhi. It is just a simple festival where the brother-sister cherishes their beautiful relationship. It is not that they don’t love each other on rest of the days. It is just that the day gives a chance to siblings for showing their love to each other.

    Any idea, any festival or any celebration which doesn’t harms is special. There is no reason why one should not celebrate father’s day. The day becomes special all more for the children who are at a distant level from their father in emotional terms. The day forces the children to analyze what went wrong in their relationship and how can they rectify them. Acknowledgement of love is always there but celebration provides with the beautiful memories to be cherished for life time. The small token of love in form of sweet messages or gifts strengthens the relationship forever.
