Once in a while now, but during my childhood, gatherings were just fun and a weekly treat. Often, the events in life were birthdays, anniversaries, and so on. When gathered daily, our elders considered having a group of friends a waste of time, and we’re prohibited from doing so. However, during special events, discussions continue for a long time, and the time spent is remembered at future gatherings, and so on. Gatherings for discussions aren’t meant to hurt anyone.

Years ago, we let kids speak, and we enjoyed whatever they said, and there was always an exchange of words between the kids and the adults. Entertainment is entertainment, no matter where it might come from, and for a good time.

These days, when someone speaks, they keep on speaking, and they won’t allow you to come in between to disagree with what they say. You’ll be ignored and left alone, even if you speak better and have proper knowledge. The effect would be to make one person feel nothing, while others would be focused on talking to each other and never bother that this person isn’t in a position to sit with them for long.

Experience Of The Gatherings For Discussions

Group discussions are now part of undergraduate and other degree courses. But today, in a group discussion, adults stop people with good knowledge from speaking so and so. Recently, it was Eid day, and I was waiting to offer the Eid prayer. I got a call, and I told them I have to complete all the formalities and that I will be ready to join the relatives for lunch. It was fine that all of them had their lunch without waiting for us. They did it, and we did not mind, as we were late joining them for lunch.

So right there, nobody welcomes us warmly. We have to find available seats. The gathering continued, and they began discussions. So, it was so hurtful that they had nothing for us to care about or had any words to speak to me or any of us. They were in their state of gatherings for discussions.

Fortunately, I was so happy that someone had taken the time to heat the food for me, and I knew it was also on the stove, heating up. I was also given a soft drink bottle. Is this enough? No, just because I wasn’t, or any of us were, introduced to their new member who recently joined their family. But that was also fine. We do not have the privilege to invite them to our home because none of our relatives bothers to visit us.

This might be a piece of cake for many, as they would say, it’s just life. But why are low-profile or non-VIP relatives often ignored? The question itself suggests that, if, for any reason, people who do not show off were not bothered by others, it would be because their values would be unknown.

Last Regret: The Gatherings Hurt

If we want to say something and the other one knows the joke. They’ll stop us from completing that and start saying the same thing in their own way. It would have been better if someone had started by saying they should be allowed to finish that joke or any funny incident. People get so excited, and they ignore those who deserve it and can make the moments more joyful.

They won’t understand that humble people are also among the strongest at fun-filled speaking and also knowledgeable. That if, for any reason, you would be invited and would be left alone. What would you do? You must leave. That is the best way. Leave the gatherings for discussions if you are treated as a stranger rather than a close relative.

Be patient for a while, and then leave. That is it.
