What Everybody Ought to Know About Divorce?

by Dennis Gac

An epidemic has been slowly gathering momentum for the last many decades. Over the last two centuries, the world has undergone such changes that our forefathers couldn't even imagine of. Due to globalization, the world is becoming increasingly smaller as barriers break between different cultures. Science and technology has surpassed the wildest limits of human imagination. However, man has to pay a very dear price for such glory. Human relationships, which are the basis of all existence, are breaking down.

Broken homes no longer excite any surprise as the word "divorce" becomes a term of everyday use. With an increased demand for professional marriage counselors, people are flocking to whoever is available, for solutions. The scenario is extremely chaotic as one may imagine. Broken relationships and custody battles over children are occurrences that man has learnt to take in his stride. As behind every other phenomenon, causes abound here as well. For all the hype and glory surrounding globalization, one is really led to wonder about what interconnectedness it has achieved.

Man seems to be becoming more of an escapist with the lapse of time. Couples are unwilling to take the time and effort to solve matters and save a marriage. The only exit route is a divorce. One leads to another and so we have this new wave of emulation where one divorce encourages other couples to even consider it and keep it at the back of their minds. We have deliberately limited our options, to such a level that nothing other than divorce can make sense of a happy marriage. Our minds shut down and refuse to look beyond it. In short we have cut down our cognitive powers to almost a standstill.

This is a psychological phenomenon of close ended thinking. Our thinking processes become absolutely stationary and no other options but the one present in front of our eyes exist. We do not even bother to reflect and look for other solutions before calling up our lawyers to draw up divorce papers. Parting ways seem to be the only thing to do today. People are getting divorces for the pettiest of reasons, and that too just because everyone is too selfish and egoistic to make the first move in working things out.

The social and the psychological side effects of divorce are immense. Not only are the two people involved, it becomes worse if there are children as well. These kids grow up watching their parents fight out bitter battles in the divorce courts, slinging bitter abuses and allegations at each other. These children with such a traumatic background grow up to be repressed individuals with a variety of social, mental and physical problems. Also it sets a trend for the future generations to come, for whom divorces are the best options available. It takes only a minor misunderstanding or a petty fight for a couple to start off divorce proceedings. True commitment doesn't let go so easily. Divorce is an alarming phenomenon that has arrived as emotional baggage in the advanced lifestyle of modern man.
