Why are divorces common in India?
Lack of patience.
No one is positive or negative, good or bad till eternity. There
are phases of positive and negative, good and bad, success and failure, ups and
downs.
Life isn't lived in days, weeks, months but years and decades.
Any phase in life doesn't end in a few months, it light take a
few years. The current generation that needs instant gratification isn't ready
to wait that long.
That lack of patience is because people aren't relaxed.
Lack of spiritual
outlook.
People are also more self centered and egoistic. They are
earning big and think material luxuries are everything in life.
Lack of purpose.
Before marriage, people hardly see a purpose for marriage. They
don't understand why marriage is required. If you ask most people, they'd say
they marry for money and SEX.
Joint families
replaced by nuclear families.
Its not me vs you. It is always us vs rest.
We are more weak and
negative than our stronger and positive ancestors.
Our culture gives us energy and fitness. Flexibility and silence
needs strength, energy, fitness. Lack of which causes ego.
Joint families need a lot of energy, flexibility and silence.
It's a learning ground for team work. What is important is not
us individually, but the family as a whole. That obviously involves a lot of
compromises that can make some uncomfortable but that is welfare of majority.
More than our happiness, what is important is that the family stays together,
what is important is happiness of the family.
The day we started delineating from our culture, the day we
became weak, the day we started getting negative, cracks started appearing in
our joint family structure.
We are more
judgemental.
We need to transcend right and wrong.
Corporate Culture
The basis of corporate culture is what's in it for me? A use and
throw mentality or hire and fire. Corporate is not a company alone. It can be a
person, a nation, a state, a family, anything. Corporate is a system, a
mindset. The world's first corporate company was East India Company. We are
increasingly imbibing and bringing the corporate mindset of running things into
families. Families aren't corporates. They shouldn't be run like corporates. We
can't use and throw, productize, commoditize living beings. What the corporate
culture misses is happiness, positivity.
What is the solution?
If we observe, the divorce rates are higher among urban people
than the rural and semi urban folks. Also, the divorce seem higher among the
20–40 age group.
The environmental destruction around us and cultural destruction
within us had made us less relaxed, more negative, weaker, judgmental and
egoistic.
Until we follow the Sanatana Dharma and culture in originality
and stop environment from getting destroyed, the divorce rates are only bound
to increase.
Culture is a series of practices that define our lifestyles. The
solution should involve lifestyle changes.
