Indeed, it was the need of the
hour to set up old age homes and orphanages when people were no longer willing
to bear the unwanted burdens and piles of responsibility in their busy life.
But the paradox is that these old age homes and orphanages set up are spreading
a culture of abandonment thus more of this kind are coming up like mushrooms
and are turned to be a big business under the label of charitable act.
Now the nuclear family has an
easy way out to get away from its unwanted and aged parents as well as the
unwanted child because now it has become a culture of sending the aged parents
to the old age homes and the unwanted children to the orphanages. When there is
a decline in the righteousness and age old customs society will have to see
some popular customs withering away giving way for something new to come in.
Excess money can only bring wreck
to the human relationship than it could build up the warmth of relationship. In
the pursuit for pleasure and comfort in life, people do not have time for the
other no matter whether the other is his or her parents. We feel that money can
buy anything and everything but there are lots of things that money can’t buy
for us. Thus, life is not all about amassing wealth and living a troubled life.
This kind of culture is most
rampant in the cities where people do not have time to love and care for the other
and the sad part is that these kind of disgusting culture getting popularized
and accepted by everyone. Ever since we have the formalized orphanages to take
care of the unwanted children given birth by the unmarried girls through extra
marital affairs, the number of new born children abandon is in alarming rates.
When the people in the society
have a thorough knowledge about the old age homes and orphanages and their
functions and what they are meant for, people started taking advantage of the
new system set up thus turned it to be a custom of never caring and bothering
for others. Now it has become a culture and custom where in we can avail these
kinds of services, paying the adequate amount of money as charges.
This new custom is getting widely
spread everywhere with alarming speed. The moment we feel that even if we give
up our own dear ones there are people to take care of them and to look after them;
we find a kind of security in abandoning people. We know there is a well
established system and service to do our duty which otherwise we are ought to do and
the money can get the job done for us.
