Why divorce should be easy!

-
Image
Couples come together for a common purpose. They bear children and start parenting them. But at times, they may grow apart and not want to remain a couple. They may want to separate. But society and law often prevents this separation. Because they feel that children might get affected due to the separation. Hence, law has made divorce difficult and asks couples the reason for the separation. They need to show some fault in the partner in order to get legal separation. But this only opens another Pandora's box in which false accusations and blame game begins. This is unhealthy and stressful not only for the couple but also for their children. Divorce of their parents does affect children. It can lead to stress and academic struggles in them. They might suffer severe mental stress and demonstrate behaviour changes in them. They may have anxiety, depression, feeling of guilt and shame and sadness. This may affect them in school and their social circle. They could become an object of r...

Warning: Vipassana is injurious to health

-

 Vipassana came to India from Myanmar. It is a philosophy that was propagated here by SN Goenka. But the basics and fundamentals of this spiritual practice are wrong. There is no science it and nothing per se has been proven. In fact, it is disastrous for humankind and society because it is against the very human nature: the nature that all of us are born with. 

Humans,  their nature, positive and negative feelings

Humans are born with certain natural feelings and reactions. These are virtues or vices. They like to be in groups and have a sense of belonging. They want to share and communicate and socialize. As long as this helps society without creating friction it is good. This means one has to keep these activities under limits and not overdo it. One needs to balance it so that self and society is helped without harming self or anyone else. 

Vipassana injurious to health (Source: Quora) 

And as regards the vices, one needs to overcome and conquer these demons and strive to become good individuals. Virtues should be valued and vices conquered. This training has to commence from childhood days and needs to be reinforced I to adulthood with proper societal rules and laws and their implementation. 

Such a utopian state of affairs is rarely found in the world but efforts to have it should continue. 

Why Vipassana is disastrous? 

Vipassana teaches people to become islands. They say that one should remain detached and not react because reaction makes a person unhappy. One should be at peace with self. 

If a person becomes detached, how will a family and society function? How will consideration, sensitivity, kindness, and compassion come in? And if there is no reaction, how will people understand a person's thinking? And not showing a reaction on face does not mean that one is not reacting inside? The inside reaction comes in naturally but you are trying to kill it. Or you are having the reaction but moving away from the place so that people do not know that you are reacting. It all looks so funny. Such abnormal and weird behaviors I have seen in loyal returnees of Vipassana. These are the people who go there every year and promote it to the gullible people. In short, they are the walking-talking advertisers of Vipassana. 

Nose flutes and nose whistles 

This is not observed in people who go for Vipassana for one time experiment just out of curiosity. Of course, many of these do not promote it later on and do not follow it in their everyday life. These people are normal. 

That implies, the loyal vipassana followers end up with a weird condition wherein they react in silence or are fighting with themselves to remain detached from someone including family members. They are sometimes like normal human beings and sometimes totally abnormal. This runs the risk of converting these people into bipolar individuals. 

Vipassana and sages

Vipassana is to be done by sages and saints. But to teach a normal society and family human being about Vipassana would be injurious to the person, his family, and society. Detachment and non-reaction can never be part of a sane society. Non-communication can never help development of a society. 

Effective adequate communication with preserved sensitivity and conquering of vices with achievement of a virtuous life is all that is needed for a peaceful and happy society. Vipassana is not a requirement of a society and can continue to give training to sages but not a society human being.

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
