Morals & Values among Indians is Degenerating

It is evident that kaliyuga is defined as a time where there people let go off humanity, values. Values are those rules which become a foundation of an evolved person. Something which realizes a person of the path he took, it may be diabolical or ethical.

But we are born to follow ethical, moral values because we are from the origin of ethics, no person is born as a daemon, but he became one and why is he a daemon because he didn't follow the ethics he was born with.

This proves that somewhere, somehow one approaches to this values even if he doesn't want to follow them, every drunk person determines to drink everyday but dreams of being sober. And if not, he desires death.

Because he knows that its wrong. Some rules are never meant to be broken. Values are the ones which binds us to realize our value of being here, now, today and everyday.

Yes, Today moral values, ethics more than that relationship values are degrading. Today maintaining many boyfriends has become a fashion and time pass for girls n in fact some treat it as their achievement. Same apply to the guys.

Atleast we are blessed because we all are born to love and affection between our parents. But next generation children will born to just time pass relationships with many. Therefore strong families are degrading today and everyone just trying to enjoy the life as much as they want. People are not bothered whether their acts are going to hurt people around. They just want to enjoy at the cost of others happiness.

All these things are negative side of life. But there are many good things also happening. There are many good people also following honesty, ethics in their life. But most of them are suffered a lot in their life mainly due to the bad people around. So it our duty to not to allow bad dominating good and follow humanity. Hope for the better tomorrow.

Old is gold, morals are from in olden days. Each and every moral has a practical reason. Nowadays our grandparents telling that don't do that but not the reason. If you say something to a person definitely he/she will ask a question, that is 'why'?

If you clarify his/her doubt with full of clarity then that person will get the moral from that and they will understand that is not good that is the reason they are saying like this.

Thank you.

I want to share my views regarding "How far we must be proud to be an Indian?". Please. Don't be proud about past Indian culture & physical features of India. India has great mountains, the great Thar desert, plateaus, plains, rivers, forests etc. But a country means not only soil and it's features but a country means it's 'PEOPLE'. But there is no scope now-a-days to depict our greatness seeing us (not all but including me).

Firstly I don't have right to criticize others without checking me whether I am correct or wrong. But according to me it's all doesn't matter to give a opinion. Our society was sub-merged in flood of selfishness, in flood of jealousy, in flood of corruption, in flood of passion on money. One more highly effective one is use of modern gadgets excess. These gadgets highly contribute for drowning away of human values in their heartless tides.

The only solution for this is 'CHANGE'. "YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD".

Sorry @Subhash. I partly agree with you. But how many of such kind will you find from our country? Those who really work for their family and country without any personal motive and selflessly? I guess hardly anyone.

So friends- ETHICS AND VALUES ARE THE BUILDING STONES OF ONE'S CHARACTER. We must learn to shape them, without any deformity.

Moral values which we today (aged 40+) have learned from our parents are far different from today's generation. Have you ever seen any child of today.

1. Getting aside when an elderly passes by.

2. Vacating a seat for a pregnant woman or elderly.

3. Offering help to a neighbor if he/she carries many bags or heavy load.

4. Being silent if any relative corrects him/her or scolds him/her.

5. Reading value based stories.

6. Listening to parents without arguing.

7. Being without a gadget for more than an hour.

8. Helping elderly cross a busy road.

9. Wishing a known or unknown at the meeting.

10. Helping parents at household and market works.

These are just a few in the list if I want I can add a lot to this. The readers are requested to think and implement such small values in their lives so that not only we learn it but become role models for the people around us. I believe that we cannot teach values to our youngsters rather its what they watch they learn.

The alarmingly increasing number of nuclear families alone indicates how uncomfortable one feels in maintaining a healthy relationship between family and parents. In the earlier times a man had 7-8 brothers and sisters and still he did everything he could do to meet their requirements. But today we visualize a totally transformed state where a man cannot tolerate his parents for more than a second. And moreover his children also follow the same trend !

We feel irritated when an elderly person sits next to us while we are watching TV or playing a mobile game-we wish to push him/her out of the house.

If a needy man passes by us-we do not feel anything for him-as it is a POOR DAILY VIEW for us, and THE FEW who wish to serve the needy one see the attitude of others and move back. This is the condition of today's youth.

Earning money has become one's first and foremost duty, because he has to secure his children's future-and in this tension he forgets everything-all moral values. He would love to impress his seniors by hook or by crook, but cannot endure talking to his children, asking about their problems, inspiring them. And only because of this his children turn out to be disastrous ones in their time.

We do not feel ashamed abusing our elders and get agitated even if they ask "Where were you?" We do not mind cheating others, not even our parents. And the worst is here-kidnapping, harassment and the list is endless.

Today everything we do is just to maintain our status and nothing else. We would admit our ill grandparents to an expensive hospital-not because they would recuperate soon, but because "the world will speak of our financial status"! So is our youth progressing or degrading? The answer is obvious.

Hi all,

I think, as the time changes, changes the need of the hour.

Previously it was considered morally good to stay with the parents, and one who won't would be considered low on the ground of moral values, but we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It can be any reason, it may be for good, it may be for better career opportunities.

Adding to it, being with them also does not give a so called character certificate to anyone, it should be individuals duty to be there for his/her parents and not to consider 'am as burden.

Also, I guess youth being the pillars of the nation, sees to it in their own manner, I have seen children giving there seats in metro rail to elders or the one's in need, this gives a clear picture that they still have their moral values instilled in them.

It's more of the ability to differentiate between the good and the bad, and going with the good.

Moral values is not degrading, you need to UNDERSTAND why they are important before you can follow them. Contemplate on Morality and once understood, you will follow them at any cost.

We Indian thinks of morality in terms of customs and religious practices. It not only about respecting elders, or ladies or doing certain things. Morality is about killing the beast, hatred and the greedy person inside ourselves. It is holistic development of a person.

In my opinion, our country both people from past and present distracted, due to too many options and choices. We crave for so many things.

What we want is just essential things in personal life and career, we should leave anything which distract us. We then will have a clear vision of what is right and what is wrong. We will have time and energy for us and our dear ones.

Hi,

In my opinion, morals should be developed from childhood on wards. It means the morals and values depends on how a person thinks about it. It can be determined by the value he /she gives to his parents, relatives etc.

But, nowadays these are degrading because due to western culture and not giving much importance to relations due to busy in job, personal life etc. But it is not correct one has to develop morals and values in his life for well being of his parents and society.
