The world seems to be slowly breaking apart for so many people, friends acquaintances everyone suffering and there is no end to this suffering in sight. Our world both social and economic seems to have given up, we seem to be way ahead of the best times of all our lives that we saw in the last 20 years.
20 years back was a time when the families usually stayed together, when you had friends you could keep up with, you had a job security, you did not bend your back to meet your expenses, second or third car did not mean additional happiness.
What would I prefer????? More money and more disintegration of social values all around, impatience, aggression, diseases, more holidays. more cars OR less money along with real friends and family.
In India for us post liberalization era opened a lot of options in terms of career opportunities, entrepreneurial options, international exposure and with international exposure came the problems of the western world which are even more difficult to handle.
More jobs for men and for women, more independence for both, long working hours in order to progress on the corporate ladder more time spent at work than with ones partners or family all in trying to make more money to try and buy happiness via a holiday in an exotic location or something.
Even the one sided progression that people saw in their careers seem to be in danger with our economy collapsing or atleast slowing down and people not being used to the any slowdown in their life. This is the effect of the west and although we have benefited from liberalization but with concepts like social security and free medical not a reality in India simply copying the west might not have been the greatest idea but is now a mundane talk.
Well at 30 today people are able to build up net-worth in crores and feel great, but with this comes the problems like depression, stress, isolation , seperations, divorces, break-ups etc etc. Its a reality that people prefer their careers over their families 99 times out of 100 and lots of time neither their personal lives nor their professional lives have any chance.
Whats happening, I wish God intervenes and provides all of us with balance in our lives so we get back to the innocence that was all over our friends and family not too long back.
The price that we paid fof capitalization is not quite worth it
Health and Happiness for all
