Why is there so much tension in life today?

Thursday, December 21, 2006 Why there is so much tension in life today? Inspite of having every worldly goods still people are tense.They are better off than their parents were. Imagine the typical Indian middle class life about thirty /forty years back.Most were working in Government offices.So the working hours were from ten to five,saturday half day.The schools used to be from ten to four.There was enough time in the morning available to iron out the differences in the family.The minds used to be fresh after a good night's sleep and there was clarity of thinking because the morning hours. Switch to todays middle class society.There is no fixed working hours.The whole family is fighting with time.The mother gets up early in the morning for preparing breakfast and tiffin for the school going kid,he or she has to catch the 7 am school bus,the classes are from 8 am.The daughter is still sleeping as she works in a call centre.The man of the house is in a rush for his early hour meeting and may return after 7 pm.Now where is the time with this family to sit together and address the problems.The father gives advise on the fly without going into the depth of the problem.The mother can not be weaned out from watching her favourite soap opera in the TV or may be she also goes to the office.When the problem becomes real grave and some outsider points out so,then this family may sit together late in the night to discuss the problem.The nerves of every one is already frayed by the ordeal of the daily routine.Are they in their right frame of mind to take a decision on any crisis? According to me any decision taken in the night can not be balanced one and decisions taken under stress brings grief mostly. Can we have our mornings back? 1:21:25 PM Posted By s n roy Comments (4) Personals Comments Happy Thursday, December 21, 2006 3:13:53 PM EXCELLENT!!! It feels good to know that I am not the only one who feels this. Yes we need to have TIME. We AND THE CORPORATE sector needs to realize that a balance has to be struck in each individual's life. If there is imbalance in one's personal life the same will be reflected in one's work. cooldude Thursday, December 21, 2006 3:16:33 PM now some cell providers are advising the youth to talk in the night, cutting down on sleep as the night time rates are low...bus ho gaya..we are becoming zombie CS Thursday, December 21, 2006 4:28:45 PM some are night persons. some are not K.Venugopal Thursday, December 21, 2006 9:06:44 PM Zombies. That's a good one. Seriously, we have to find the peace within so that external conditions do not matter. Life is fulfiling under all circumstances. We always complain and wait for the right conditions which never seem to come.
