New age relationship and their results.

Hello my friends,

Nowadays, my health and business commitments do not permit me to remain continuously active on the Steemit platform; consequently, I am here today after a long hiatus of nearly 28 days.

Today, I, too, have drawn inspiration from my learned colleague, @aviral123, and I wish to share my thoughts on a subject that has become remarkably commonplace in the context of our modern times.

The subject I am addressing is the changing nature of human relationships. People of my generation used to nurture their relationships with absolute faith, steadfastness, and unwavering loyalty. In our era, a man and a woman were granted the opportunity to live together only after fulfilling the vows and rituals associated with a lifelong commitment; barring a rare exception or two, most relationships were enduring and lasted a lifetime. Even when relationships faced ups and downs, both parties strove to uphold their gravity and dignity. Similarly, in the realms of friendship and kinship, if anyone acted treacherously, society would not accept or condone such behavior.

However, over the last 25 to 30 years, a segment of society—particularly the younger generation—has rejected these traditional values. Now, in place of "commitment" and "dedication," several new terms have gained currency—such as "live-in relationships," "relationships" (in the modern sense), and "situationships." While these terms may sound appealing to the ear, they have, in reality, reduced the sanctity of relationships to a mere farce.

For instance, in a modern "relationship," two consenting adults—a man and a woman—cohabit without any formal contract or marriage ceremony, staying together for as long as they desire. They share every intimacy and experience everything that a married couple would. However, when they eventually part ways, both parties often experience significant psychological conflict and emotional turmoil when attempting to enter into new relationships.

Furthermore, if a child is born out of such a union, that child's life often turns into a living hell; legally, the child may be labeled as illegitimate, and consequently, spends their entire life living with deep-seated frustration and psychological trauma. Whether one chooses to label this a "relationship," a "situationship," or simply a "toxic bond"—I, for one, do not know. For these very reasons, marital relationships have suffered a severe decline; divorce rates are rising rapidly, and this is having a profoundly negative impact on society. Social instability is on the rise, and individuals are becoming increasingly weak in character.

However, the younger generation tends to believe that all of this is acceptable; yet, as they grow older, they eventually learn a hard lesson from these mistakes.

This is a vast subject upon which much could be written; however, my busy brothers and sisters do not have the time to read at such length. Therefore, I shall conclude my remarks here.

I also want to invite here @sadaf02 @suboohi @jyoti-thelight @paholags @solperez and @aviral123

With lots of love and respect,

Sur-riti❤️
