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?

#people #festivals #periods
Some
people
 believe that religious
festivals
 have lost their original purposes and become opportunities to just have fun. I do not totally agree but I cannot refute
this
 idea. On the
one
 hand, there are various types of traditional
festivals
 have held on specific dates by different meanings throughout the world.
One
 of the big advantages of
festivals
 is gathering
people
 together to show unity and solidarity.
This
 type of
ceremony
 not only helps
people
 to forget dark days but
also
 helps them to bring happiness. The New Year's celebration is a suitable example to illustrate how
people
 convene, giving and receiving presents along with praying the best for each other. During the
ceremony
, not only they pay attention to the festival's meaning but
also
, they are all happy together.
On the other hand
, we are witness which in some veneration
ceremonies
people
 especially the young generation tend to have more fun time and its aim to show how much they spend more time to party and staff, they have less time to pay attention to point of the
ceremony
. In my perspective,
one
 of the important reasons which cause a negligence to the source of the
ceremony
 is merging the other performance which has nothing to do with the main
ceremony
.
One
 of the best approaches to tackle the problem is to have a plan from the beginning to the end to manage the festival. In conclusion, paying more attention to the source of the
ceremonies
 and
festivals
, not only shows the importance of the
ceremonies
 more than before, but
also
 it sets out that these
ceremonies
 continue in the future and passed on to the
next
 generation.
