Prosperity is taking it's toll....!!!

Read a post in one of the mid day blogs. 'Death be not proud!'. Author worries about the death that is so prevalent in today's world- in the form of suicides and homicides- though quality of life has improved multi folds. Why? why do people kill themselves, and others including wives, children, beloved, families??

I feel that the answer lies in the improved quality of life. No dream is distant in today's world. The fight for survival has disappeared. Greed for more has taken its place now. The greed is not only for money and material well being. In today's world, 'I' has become the center of everything. Everything revolves around individual comfort. Sacrifice do not possess much value in day to day life. Yes, there are still people who sacrify for communities. But you and me, in our daily lives, DO NOT sacrify. marriages seek intellectual compatibility. Couples expect 100% harmony. And if it is not evident, they trust that there are ways to get out of situation. Getting out of wed locks is becoming easier day by day. This is a prominent change in culture and social structure. This is the first step taken towards collapsed families, broken homes, problem children and whole instability. This mental instability and material over prosperity lead to the belief that anything can be bought and bended as per ones wish.

Now a days, people do not like to face problems, to sustain in storms, to fight to get solution. They do not believe in indivisibility of relations. They do not respect others' emotions. They at times do not respect their family's emotions. And then they do not respect the fundamental right to possess life; the right that every individual gains right from birth. People do not like to struggle and suffer for the sake of relatives, families and loved ones. Perhaps people do not love anyone beyond self. When my well being becomes central, I tend to do ANYTHING to maintain it. That leads to broken homes, problem children, crimes.

The real question is how to stop this? How to bring prosperity and sacrifice together.
