Telephone and Family Disputes

The telephone is a means for social communication among people, but this means is sometimes used to achieve intact goals far away from the hoped ones. Some women occasionally fell bored and they try to get rid of it through available ways. Thus the trip to searching the suitable mean begins.

The bored woman at the beginning looks at the library of which her husband is proud because it contains best books of the Arab heritage. Then, this woman feels something strange in this library. She is satisfied with sending a critical look to the way of arranging the books according to its topics because she prefers arranging the books according to the color of each book cover. The library in the woman’s point of view is like a garden, which she has to take care of its flowers.

Next, the woman moves to the room’s contents such as the furniture, the vase and the portrays and finally the telephone. When her eyes fall on the telephone, she feels that she reached her aim because she considers the telephone as the best way to get rid of loneliness and boredom.

She began ringing her friend who is also bored. Thus they began wasting time and speaking about status of people and about the sons. The talks move illogically from one subject to another while the victim is just the time.

The husband comes back from his work as well as the children starving but they didn’t find any food they wish to deliver. Suddenly, the woman remembers that she gives up one of their important rights and that she wastes a long time.

This story is repeated many times and became a reason for family disputes. Thus the telephone, then the mobile and also the SMS broadcasted on satellite channels became new elements in erupting family disputes. So, we wish to attach more importance this issue.
