In the past 50 years Life's changing rapidly, lifestyles are evolving daily with new trends.Lets have a look at understanding major attitude changes that govern our lifestyle and can provide us a solution to the emotional problems we are facing today.

This is the first article in the upcoming series:

Renew Vs. New:

In the olden days if an item was not functioning well, then people try to repair it and make it work.For eg. if a fan is not working properly, they would try repair the thing with an electrician. Their attitude was to preserve the things, in spite of the condition in which it is. They try to work on it and make it better.

On a similar note, if a relationship is under strain they try to "repair".

But today we are looking at the generation, we always look for a "new" one, instead of repairing the old one.For eg: if a mobile is not functioning, we immediately go for a "new" one, we never try to repair the old one. The same attitude applies even to relationships.

If a relationship is under strain, we look for another one. that's where we are emotionally weak, we always look for the easiest part.
"Repairing" needs understanding of the underlying issues and finding a way to work around them/fix them. That takes lot of courage, ego and patience.So instead we look out for a simple approach, lookout for a new one and when the new one is not working properly then we repent about the old one.
This leads to lots of emotional issues difficult to tackle with.

So, friends never give up. However bad may be the relationship we can always repair it.

Ugly Truth: "No Change"

After reading the title, if your thinking about the money then this article suits you.
There was a famous story of a man who has no other job but to

hunt for food,
cook,
eat and
find a good shelter to sleep.The so called "maslow's" hierarchy of needs.

The entire life was made of these activities.There was no goal in this life than to achieve these.

If you are thinking of "stone age early man" you are wrong. The same applies to men from all ages, except a few. So, whats the purpose of life then and now???

"No Change",

only difference is 
We do jobs for food,
cooking has become more lavish
eating has become more
shelters have become bigger.


And once a man has achieved all of these, he is not satisfied yet.He started dreaming of more of the same kind, So that he is much above the others.In this process he became more selfish and meaner. Instead of following maslow's hierarchy which states that once a person achieves all the above, he tries to look for more meaningful things like social responsibility, spiritual awareness, pursuing one's passions etc..he enters  a loop which demands more food,shelter, etc....


So are we going to continue this for the up coming ages also??
                                    (or)
Are we going to head instead in pursuing our passions, thinking about the purpose of life, living our dreams,

"u" decide because "u" can only decide.

And that my friend is the "ugly truth".
