Marriage which takes away freedom to be oneself, to be an authentic loving self creates imprisonment for both the man and the woman. Such marriages make each other's life miserable and breaks up intimate relationships. Adorning to my experience unconditional love enriches and deepens relationships. Sadly many marriages have caused heart aches and head aches and they result in separation and divorce. According to me, marriage helps each other blossom and makes life fragrant. I also believe that freedom without responsibility is conducive to failure and unhappiness. I remember Carl Ung's pronouncement when he came to America,. He said," America needs two statues: Statue of Liberty on the East coast and statue of Responsibility on the West coast. Freedom without responsibility is license to do whatever one wants to do. It is a sign of self-will and immaturity. I married Vaneela who showed true love and courage to marry me born in a poor family. She married me though her father was against her choice. Both of us loved deeply and our love flourished our life. Such loving relationship fuels the engine of our experience. She passed away a few years ago but she lives in our heart for ever.
Namaste. Above is my reflection to the excerpt from Neale Donald Walsch's article.

I love this post. I totally agree with it even outside a marriage. I think this is what we are missing in society today. I think we have a pendulum that swung from my parents and grandparents generation of them being responsible to their family, their place of worship and work to now generations which do not feel responsibility to those things as much. I am hopeful seeing many young people standing up for injustices to people and our planet. Perhaps in another generation or two the pendulum will balance out a bit. Leave a Reply. |
