Note:I am writing this because most of my friends who were happily
married once are unhappily divorced now. Not one or two but many in
counting and two are at the crossroads of filing a legal battle with each
other. In the following I have voiced out my opinions on the stories they
shared.
Here’s a
thought to ponder upon! Why do some people don’t even take a split second to go
back to the primitive ape age? They react so angrily and without giving a
thought to it, they jump to conclusions not wondering opportunities and options
available. Some have rigid attitudes and some too flexible to be naïve. Others
take pride in keeping their spouse at their finger tips like the Alpha male and
Alpha female for packs of wolves. This
is the evolution of our family systems. Families kept us bonded for generations
and this bond is becoming weak with modernization. I suppose time will heal
everything.
The life
cycle revolves around doing ones nine to five job, getting home and spending
time with family. This is the rigid and accepted practice. Otherwise the fairer
gender at home will be smoking red with anger. At times, don’t we get late? Or
we purposefully want to get ‘late’ for reasons other than getting ‘laid’. Oops!
And if one’s not home frequently on the time one leaves office, in the mind of
the one at home, it’s surely getting laid. What a preconceived and subconscious
thought? Insecurity breeds with familiarity. I have come across such beings and
they teach hard, that family is not everyone’s cup of tea. Not for now at
least!
The
evolution of Bhutanese practices on family has been the tool that kept families
together and I read it years ago that people marry within the blood line not to
let the wealth go out. If this is not happening now, certainly some fragments
of this cultural practice must be alive. I am a Sharchop and some scorn at the
very name. I have a reason to be mocked at because long ago our ancestors had
the culture of marrying ones cousins-the golden cousins. Ask any easterner
about it! This has become a debatable issue and for modernists, marrying within
a blood line would be taboo.

This takes
me years back to my college days, where an extempore speaker declared, “Women
marry in haste and men with curiosity”. If divorce was what fate had in store
for them (my friends), certainly it was a curable-mistake to have seen the
person good to you playing the role of a humble spouse. If this is what you
like not to believe, please refer to the legal issues and hassles handled by
the judiciary in our country. It’s staggering-in all sense of the word.
Dear
friends, play safe and don’t let your spouse think that GETTING LATE has
something to do with GETTING LAID or vice versa.
Happy living
folks!
Lol... nice write up - getting late certainly isn't getting laid... no comments on the divorce issue though. Let the game decide. Hehe...
ReplyDeleteFor some getting late is almost synonymous to getting laid....lol.....
DeleteI hope you liked it
ReplyDeleteinteresting topic...some truth there! Question: Who's to do what to change this?
ReplyDeleteEither of the spouse who's wronged I guess, I mean in moral terms!
ReplyDeleteNice post! It's sad and disheartening to see the number of divorce and broken family increasing in Bhutan. Hope there are many families out there that still uphold family values as much as they can for the well beings of their spouse and kids. Cheers!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are many who live for each other. Cheers to them.!
