loving and abusing..

life is all about relationships...men and women keep looking for their ideal partners with whom they can lead a fulfilling life.but no one ever gets a perfect partner because no individual is built perfect,we cannot customise an individual according to our preferences.some people accept this fact and move on in life with their relationship and survive with some amount of understanding that their partners are different individuals,respecting their way of life,and at some level compromise with situations.

there are many relationships infected with physical and emotional abuse.and not just illiterate people are involved in abuse,highly educated,intelligent people are also involved in abusing their partners because education does not make a person a good human being,it merely fills the brain not form it.an eminent personality with high education named mr.v.s.naipaul is recent example of that.in his recent biography he admitted that he is responsible for the death of his first wife Patricia who was suffering from cancer.she knew of his regular visits to prostitutes and his mistress which lead to depression and anxiety and eventually might have hied her death.many such cases of abuse have been coming up which involved educated people.a software engineer killing his wife on suspicion of affair,a married officer killing a woman journalist with whom he had an affair.not only men,women are also increasingly resorting to such sick acts,recently a woman(educated) hired some people to hurt her boyfriend by throwing acid on him,many women(educated) are taking advantage of the laws and using it to get rid of their innocent husbands for various reasons of their own by falsely implicating them in various charges like torture,abuse,dowry demand etc.technology has made things more easier for people who want to abuse their partners for various reasons.many of them resort to disseminate mms clippings of their partners in compromising positions to make their life miserable.

whenever an uneducated person is found to be abusing his/her partner,the general reaction from society is 'what can be expected of an uneducated person,they will behave like that because they are uneducated' ..but what about the cases of abuse where educated people are involved? we like to blame others but not ourselves...the factors responsible for this abusive nature in people are being related to the modern lifestyle.our lives have become more stressful and aggressive.we all get education for one basic reason mostly,to make more and more money from it,because only money can buy material pleasures of life,and we need money to satiate our lust for these worldly pleasures.the greed to have more and more have changed the way we live our lives.we are constantly racing,wanting to achieve all in short time have made us restless and aggressive souls.we have centred everything around ourselves only making us insensitive towards others.

everything has become a commodity including humans and their feelings.shopping malls are stuffed with unlimited options of various products,we don't like to use a particular product for long,our interest level has gone down with so many options available,we have become greedy and keep switching to other products every now and then,people are doing the same in relationships,they don't like to throw away the key once they are in a relationship,instead,they like to have the key with them so that they can walk out of the relationship easily as and when they feel like.its just like switching to another product.consumerist society has lead to increase in infidelity among people in relationship.the willingness has disappeared to stay in a relationship for long.they feel tempted to other options easily available and accessible,we have become slaves of our lust.
