Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals; during festival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

The holiday season is that

time

of the year, for which everyone eagerly awaits. While some people have forgotten the true meaning of culture and tradition,

such

as festivals and consider celebrating it by its own. I totally agree with

this

statement as many people consider going out of town

instead

of spending the festive season with family.

Also

, they ignore cultural importance in the name of the generation gap.

First

and foremost, festivals were always meant to be spent with family.

This

used to be that

time

of the year, when all the family members used to visit their home, especially meeting elders.

This

has changed a lot in the

last

decade and youngster's often plan to travel with friends

instead

of spending the same

time

at home.

For example

, Diwali, a Hindu festival, has always been a get together for the whole family and they celebrate

this

by doing some rituals and burning crackers, but over the past few years,

this

has changed drastically as people use

this

time

as leisure. It is because, people

are more occupied with their comfort and least bothered

Suggestion

bother more occupied with their comfort and least

are more occupied with their comfort and least bothered

about spending

time

with their loved ones. Another important aspect is people are not that religious anymore. People have started considering religion as restriction or a thing of the past, which restricts you from doing things you want. While, many of the things are scientifically proven great for human health.

For example

, as stated in Jainism and many other religions, eating food after sunset is not good for health.

In contrast

, most population rarely eat before sunset.

As a result

, diabetes and other diseases are on the rise, and eating habits are to be blamed for it as proven by doctor's and researcher's. In conclusion, despite religion and cultures being a great asset for an individual. Nowadays, people want to live life to the full. In my opinion, being carefree and living an independent life is great, but we should not forget our roots and should think about everything stated in our religion before denying it.
