How much degradation is left in the society? It is heartbreaking to hear that a son can murder his own parents so ruthlessly. The woman, along with her brother-in-law, got her two-year-old son killed. The wife, along with her lover, cut her husband, who was an officer in the Merchant Navy, into pieces.
The father had his son killed by the servant. News of the killing of a mother, father, brother, friend, or partner is common. Such crimes show how much mental balance, morality, and family values have deteriorated in society. These incidents of crime and moral degradation show that somewhere, there is a serious crisis in our social structure, family values, and mental health. But it is also worth noting that negative incidents are seen more in the news because they attract people’s attention. There are still many people in society who are full of love, cooperation, and morality.
We need to give equal importance to goodness and work toward improving society. It is important to understand the reasons for this decline and find solutions—increasing communication in families, paying attention to mental health, strengthening moral education, and taking strict measures to prevent crime. We also have to think about what kind of values we are promoting and what kind of society we are creating for the coming generations. It may be difficult to completely stop the decline of society, but together, we can slow it down and turn it in the right direction.
In today’s time, when we look at newspapers and social media, we find news of crime, deception, violence, and moral degradation all around. It seems that society has entered the influence of the dark Kali Yuga. Lack of trust in family relationships, decline in moral values, and blind race for material pleasures have weakened human sensibilities.
Morality, the importance of relationships, and human sensibilities are gradually weakening in society. Incidents of murder, betrayal, selfishness, greed, and moral degradation are increasing continuously. Seeing this, it seems that society is moving towards a dark period. It is heart-wrenching to hear that a son can murder his own parents so ruthlessly. Such crimes show how much mental balance, morality, and family values have declined in society. It is heart-wrenching to hear that a son can murder his own parents so ruthlessly. Such crimes show how much mental balance, morality, and family values have declined in society. The way moral degradation is increasing in society it not only indicates the number of crimes but also the breakdown of family and social fabric.
The importance of relationships in society is gradually decreasing, and there can be many reasons for this. Earlier, there was closeness, trust, and sacrifice in relationships; now selfishness, greed, and show-off have taken their place. Nowadays, selfishness and greed are dominating even among parents, siblings, husbands and wives, and friends. The family, which used to be the center of love and cooperation earlier, is now becoming a victim of quarrels and mutual differences. Incidents like murder, rape, robbery, and fraud are increasing over small matters. Even family members are putting each other’s lives in danger. People are trying to achieve wealth and success by any means, leaving morality and honesty even if they have to exploit someone for that.
Earlier people used to have patience in life and tolerate difficulties, but nowadays, anger and impatience have dominated people. Small disputes have started taking violent forms. Religion is becoming a means of merely showing off, while the value of morality and honesty is decreasing. People teach others moral lessons but do not follow the right path themselves. Earlier there used to be joint families where there was guidance from the elders. But now, in the name of personal freedom and modernity, family values are declining.
People are becoming mentally unstable due to financial pressure, tension in relationships, and conflict of personal desires, due to which they make wrong decisions. Violence, crime, and immorality have been made normal on the Internet. People take extreme steps without thinking. Children are being taught less about the difference between right and wrong in schools and families. Greed, jealousy, and personal selfishness are increasing. Criminals know that there will be a delay in getting punishment, or they will find a way to escape, due to which the number of crimes is increasing.
Looking at the incidents happening in society, it seems that we have entered the era of extreme Kali Yuga. Where earlier importance was given to relationships, love, respect, and morality, now selfishness, greed, anger, and violence are becoming dominant. Looking at the increasing crimes in society, it seems that humanity, tolerance, and love are slowly vanishing. But if the family, society, and the government take the right steps together, then this decline can be stopped.
To revive family values, parents should spend time with children, give them moral education, and explain the difference between right and wrong. Problems related to stress, depression, and anger should not be ignored. Therapy and counseling should be adopted if needed. Criminals should be given strict punishment, and the legal process should be fast so that the criminals remain afraid. Positive stories and content related to morality should be promoted, which inspires good values in society. Emphasis should be laid on moral education, empathy, and social values in schools. We all have to fulfill our responsibility to maintain morality and humanity in society. This is not only the work of the government or the law; every person needs to bring about change at his level.
Even in this time of extreme Kaliyug, if we keep our actions in the right direction, then this darkness can be reduced a little. To maintain morality and humanity in society, we have to start with ourselves. We cannot only blame the government and law and order, but we also have to bring changes in our personal and social lives. Even in this time of extreme Kaliyug, if we keep our actions in the right direction, then the renaissance of goodness in society is possible. We have to decide whether we want to get lost in this darkness or want to bring a new ray of light with our efforts.
