Breach

Watching the lives of people nowadays ,be it happily married families or the new entrants to the institution called marriage,just throws up many questions.Are marriages really made in heaven?

The fragile society,the ambitions and competition to outdo each other,be it husband or wife, and the sheer peer pressures to show the world you have arrived ,is breaching the very foundation of the institution.The process of seeing each other,or just plain love at first sight all seem to end up with such challenges that very few scrape through that unhurt.Emotional drain, financial fiasco,and the physical abuse that these people go through at early ages or later lead to disastrous consequences.Their hopes of building up a good life get dashed.Some decide to forge ahead and prove a point to the world,others crumble under the societal pressure .The outcome of this leads to broken marriages, just going through the motions to show the world all is well,or a make belief facade is created to pull yourself through it.The mundane environment and stressed minds of working couples and the sheer hopelessness emerging out of dashed dreams,is a dangerous sign.

The rise in the one night stands,extra marital affairs,and lifestyles that are leading to smoke , drink and make merry.The kids, if any are going to see all this and more and loose hope in the very idea of getting married.All of them seem to be wanting to test the waters, before taking the dive.Later the better ,but when ,is the million dollar question?

They would only possibly understand the gravity of the situation or the need for a companion or partner at the later stages in life ,especially post 50.When medically ,physically and a sense of comfort of having the loved ones around is amiss.What  will this Gen X or Gen Z do then?

The rates of divorces and a simple phrase that "we don't get along "happens so soon ,that the impatience prevails and leads to the break up within the first years if not months.Are we so indecisive and immature ?Do these people really know what they want?Is it the material aspect that has blinded them?The fast cars, fast partners, the pseudo mooah,mooah, and quickie culture is unsettling many of us it seems.

We have little or no respect for culture , for senior citizens and are so blinded by what's taking place around us that this seems to be heading to an apocalypse now.

War zones ,destructive mind sets, sadistic political outfits, ambitions on the rise for sheer survival.
The cross cultures and their rub off ,especially quicker ,with the evil side ,is on the rise.   We need better and quicker counselling, more quality times spent with our loved ones and make them realise the value of human beings and the roles they play in this screenplay called life , which is the biggest blockbuster ever.Don't mess up the once in a lifetime opportunity one has been given.Moreover you have no right to mess up some one else's life as well.
