Passing On Ego Clashes To Next Generation
Parents
A spouse, 60 years, announced one day:
" Enough! I can't stand you any more. Let's part ways."
It shocked the other spouse.
They had ego clashes, occasionally in the past.
Passing On Ego Clashes
At times it appeared that they both have rigid attitudes.
It looked an incorrigible situation.
Time is always a great healer.
It moderates the temperaments.
Every time after clashes, they were back to their normal self.
With passage of time, every situation solved itself.
Now, God will help them again.
The angry spouse will cool down soon.
We all worry
As long as we are alive, we have problems and we worry.
We have an ongoing problem, we are eager to sort it out.
When one problem is over, another problem creeps in.
This is life.
When we die, there are no problems.
When we have done with our problems, it is not the end.
We have our children's problem, waiting to erupt.
We worry for children and grandchildren
In Oriental societies, still it is parenting duty to marry children.
The Western culture is creeping in slowly.
Still after marriage of children, parents look after grandchildren as well.
They pray to God for a happy, long married life of children.
Parents seek God's blessings for them.
Parents remember the tough times they had.
They pray to God, to spare their children, from the trauma of ego clashes.
Ego clashes, and verbal duels between the spouses have a silver lining!
Remember the exhilarating feeling of warm romance with your spouse, after reconciliation! by Passing On Ego Clashes
A great experience, worth fighting again, if we can reconcile later!
But life isn't so simple.
History repeats itself.
Today the parents are on the verge of divorce.
After couple of decades, the next generation is the stage actor, in the same role.
Ego clashes passed on to younger generation
The son-in-law is 'tired of their loving daughter' and wants to walk out of the marriage.
He does not give any reason.
He is 'just tired' and fed up.
The daughter is surprised, at the new development.
She doesn't understand, " But, why?"
She does house-hold duties, and is: a devoted wife, a dedicated mother, and is a working wife.
What more, a husband can ask?
They had no fight, in the recent past.
They have a good love-life.
The news was a shock.
Why do spouses undergo such experience?
God has to bless humanity with more tolerance.
The parents can only pray to God.
It all depends upon the attitudes of spouses.
Egos are indispensable
When egos clash, nobody is willing to bend.
We can dispense with the spouse, but not with the ego.
We can dispense with the children, siblings, parents, and may be even God, but not with ego.
We are unhappy due to ego clashes, but we cling to our egos.
All religions advise us, to shed the ego.
May God bless humanity.
Why He is watching us, as a neutral observer?
I fail to understand!
