Violence in the closest relationships

There are times closest relationships have farthest minds. They might have came together by some social process which both of them have not much to act. A husband and wife, a father and child, mother in law and daughter in law any of this can be taken as an example. This list can get and go complex with more players getting in the interactions. I stop with philosophizing scenario where there is only two players.

A lot of people respected by most in their working place and considered as good natured by most people, might be ill rejected of those claims by their own closest people in home. It turns to be because the attitude of those people are different in friends and family circle. People often turn violent domestically in their behaviour, they end up with quarrels with their closest family members. But they never put a fight with his/her manager or peer, not with a friend. Their might be various reasons one among them is the attitude. The attitude which denies respect and freedom to their closest minds...The other view, is those people might be powerless in their surroundings and once they get a chance they dominate. In the reverse case, people who are violent in the friends and business environment is sure to be violent in their home too...which is what normal for them. And at last a word, people who experience violence and domination on home has always have the freedom to move out farthest from the person, and at the same time they have the complete chance to make that dominator to realise and change the behaviour of what he/she is... And life is after all what choices we made whether you are the oppressor or oppressed.....

Well observed! just can't agree more!

Many a times in the past i've wondered how could one be non-reactive given any situation - either at office or at home.

Now i know the answer :) in short, it's proportional to the varying degrees of insecurity (arising out of helplessness) a person is subjected to.

PS: i learnt it is wisdom that keeps one silent :)

I bless you with more and more envy & jealousiness

Before I bless you with Envy and Jealousy. I will give their definitions first. "E nvy" is an emotion that occurs when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it. "Jealousy" is the fear of losing something that one possesses to another person. We are in a period of transition culturally, economically and socially. Effect of privatization in India led to culmination of service sectors like software field. Growth is yet one sided like richer getting richer while poorer still poorer. But there is plenty of opportunities to everybody today than 1970's. More people are getting in to middle and upper middle class now. A lot is getting richer. But If we measure the happiness they have we can find how poorer they are. In this modern city based life and life-style which is wholly materialistic the thing that is lagging behind is the spiritual aspect. Envy and jealousy is b...

Shame to be a man

I have been always proud of being a man. I used to believe that as a man I am mentally and physically strong. I always had a strong male ego. I used to have the same mentality towards women like everybody used to have from my part of world. As everybody I was brought up in a way that made me believe that as a man I am above women. The flawed society in various forms like mass media "cinema" reinforced the concept again & again. Like most of the men I saw them inferior, sex icons, weak, dependent, less-intelligent...etc., etc ., The moment of realisation... I always proud of being a man till that very moment of realisation struck in my mind. This stuff is personal, but not really a personal one. Here is that very moment... My wife was carrying a baby baby. One night she told that baby is kicking... It is the first time she is feeling it so strong...I laid my hands on her stomach to feel the baby...my baby hit my hands...he was moving & shaking inside...I felt like cry...
