"Live-in Relationship" - A today's concept
Just
came across an article in which a girl who was in a "Live-in
relationship" for almost 7 years with a batch mate of hers, attempted
suicide jumping from 4 storey building when the guy left her for reason
unknown saying that the relationship has ended (Fiction). It's not the
very first time that people attempt such kind of stunt when their
beloved ones ditch them. But still the question is why we are turning
"Commitment Phobic"? How one can throw someone away so easily like trash
after spending a substantial amount time with the other, under the same
roof, sharing the same stuff just because they are not bound by a piece
of paper authorized by law? Are we really taking YOLO (You Only Live
Once) too seriously to be intimate with as many people as possible for
carnal pleasure and hunger to be satiated in the short span of human
life? Are we slowly again turning into animals, again? Think.
We are humans, the best form developed in the living organisms. We have a brain to think, a heart to feel and a disciplined life instilled with values, beliefs that set us different from the rest. We follow a pattern to grow. We need a social life to exist. We want people to want us, love us and to be attached to us in any form of relationship that feels right. We don't mate with one and all. We are expected to be monogamous, being loyal to one partner but what we do? We lie, cheat and act normal as if it makes no impact on the lives that are involved with us. If not all, but many people ( male and female) are indulged in such processes without a slightest amount of guilt.
We are Indians. We have a life different than that of the people in west. We are raised in a different culture that is more conservative and orthodox.
Though with change of time, we are turning global but does that mean we should be aping whatever the people in the land faraway are doing for the sake of seeming modern, urban and cool ! Then why in the first place we have a culture? Why we follow certain rituals? why we have festivals of different kinds? Why we practice certain beliefs that holds good for everyone? We are land of ethics. We believe in respect. We think no human species is a commodity to be used or disfigured for the sake of pleasure. Our holy book, sacred hymns teach us to be like the kinds of RAM, the maryada purusottam. The one woman man. Or to be the kinds of SATI, who fought with Death Lord Yama, for her husband's life.
But the irony is... We are not those people anymore.
Why Indian Culture is too hollow to allow any other culture to affect and ruin it?
Are we really so dissatisfied with the way we are brought up or living or marrying?
Do we really want to come from homes of broken marriages or give our children the taste of it?
Will we be capable to see our parents being involved with people outside their marriage, sexually?
Is it okay to see your parents to be parents of other kids who has different set of parents (one parent who is not yours)?
If the answer is no, then why Live in relationship? Why not marriage? Why no commitment? why an open relationship? Why can't we just stay faithful to one?
I can't find any logic here.
