civilized?

a friend of mine was talking of a pattern in her household. Whenever her mom dropped by to see her or to stay with her, her husband and mother-in-law would just go out under the flimsiest of excuses.Her mom used to feel humiliated and avoid coming to her house.

this is not an issue for "ngo addressals"....but should we not pause to consider the abuses that are inflicted day in and day out....the ironic part is that my friend had married her husband after a torrid romance....and such sensitivity in such "love-filled" space!!!!

and the person in q is educated, widely travelled......still very lacking in fundamental human courtesies....

shocked? i am not....sensitivity and humaneness are not products of the education system...nor of our social systems..they are breakthroughs in consciousness....spiritual processes...and abuses are not inflicted on women alone..all of us are perpetuators and victims alike....

events such as the one mentioned above are not at all rare......
