Relational Agression


Why do relations break often? Why does the divorce rate increase day by day? Is it because of cultural invasion? or is it because of the diminution of relational values due to cultural mutation?

Many people around the globe have plight with understanding what love is. What is love actually? It’s not just an engulfing due to physical attraction. This is why love at first sight always ends up in repugnance. Emotional attraction can only be defined when there is trust. It’s like how a small baby trusts his mother. It’s the togetherness that holds a person in love even if he tries a fierce attempt to escape. It’s the inexpressible strong emotional bond that holds people, which neither has fringes nor geographical limitations.

Ancient civilisations like Harappa and Mesopotamia also had trouble with relational bindings during the times of their greatest prosperity. In olden Rome cultural mutations caused increased divorce rates. They used to say “I brought that house when so and so was my husband/wife”. They say generations learn from history. But the fact is that they don’t. They cycle the cultural mutation.

They say Indians are adopting western culture that the western countries are repudiating. Cultural invasion is definitely happening and it can be seen that it is cultural mutation that caused relational aggression in ancient civilisations. If you look back, having even an asexual relation before marriage wasn’t acceptable for Indians. Now people have transformed and are accepting any kind of relationships before marriage. We are not far away for a generation who treats sexual relationship before marriage casually. It will be said that it is getting into our culture like cancer from western culture. But the true reason is cultural mutation.

As culture migrates through its cycle, many renowned people always try telling everyone to look back and see how history was. But majority of them do not turn back. Even people who glance back move on pretending that they don’t understand entirely.

This ends up in counsellors giving up with their advices.

And people throw away relationships expecting a better one to turn up!

But……………………

“No matter how difficult things are, giving up isn’t the answer!!! “
