Should you blame the environment?
In Arabic language the word environment represent the things around us, the general meaning which most of us knows is that environment is the land scape, but more general meaning for environment is every thing around us.
Therefore we can say we have basically four types of environment:
1. house (family) environment
2. School environment
3. Friends environment
4. Community environment
Any of the above environment can affect us positively or negatively.
The above is an article by an Egyptian writer called Hassan Al Zayat, I tried to tranlate it.
If some blames that there is something wrong with his/her daughter or son then the father or the mother should look at these different environment.
If the child is smoking for example this could be from his/her friends in school or outside school.
If you want to raise a good child always choose a good environment for him/her.
Also remember that the time you spend with him/her teaching good values will always pay back.
Today many fathers / mothers complain that their sons and daughters never or rarely visit them, and there are two reason for this, the first one is that when the father / mother were young the were not visiting their parents, second reason is the father / mother were not spending time with their sons and daughters.
I am sure you all heard of what is called injurey time in any soccer match, if you paly in the injurey time you will always have a small chance to score a goal and win.
If you really care about those you love spend time with them and balance it.
Every bird which flys will come down later on and will not be able to fly.
Let's balance our time
whatever environment that would be? my opinion is: parents are still the main players to the child's upbringing...
"there are no mistakes...just lessons learned"
Pasomarch may allah increase you in Goodness and Life. You made the right descision. Family is more mportant than wealth. And It is Allah who is giving us our sustenance not our employers.
You are very right with your story, it's very touching but only to those with the spirit of love. I am in Qatar to work for my family happiness and comfort but i discovered that money is not the main source of happiness. My son and wife often cried on phone when i call them but what do i do? Qatar policies dont permit me to bring them cos i earn less than 7000qr and even if i manouvre, where can i house them(accomodation too expensive). how do i take them out? transportation also expensive. I decided to go back home January, with the little I have and live happily, nurturing my son and wife in love and contendment than in riches with joy.
To everyone that have left family and friends for the sake of money, please think twice, bye.
