Moral of Past vs Present
12/3/20242 min read


Morals, which take years to change, are now evolving like clouds before the wind. Customs and cultures that were sacred for people in the past are vanishing as they were tails or some superficial thing that our ancestors believed. Marriage which used to be the backbone of society, and which provided stability for human life and conduct, is losing its popularity; young men try to postpone it to think more about life, and the chances of divorces. The family, once the protector of morals and the cherished idea of social hierarchy, is now promoting individualism in which each member, men, and women, live apart despite being siblings leaving their parents alone wandering in the house of empty chairs, unused stairs and haunting silence.
As time passed, young men tended to stutter more explicit words and actions that old people wouldn’t say or do in their lifetime. Young men and women prefer a delicate and charming personality over their character. It is not a sin to have sex with strangers each day but it is a sin if you wouldn’t cut salad with a fork in a restaurant, or use a tissue instead of a handkerchief.
It is also astonishing to see the customs and values differ from one place to another, but over time morals have changed everything. In 1900 or prior if an arab woman’s face was seen or a Chinese woman’s foot was exposed they would be judged to death but now it has all changed. It is not said that values should be the same everywhere nor that change shouldn’t occur but at this pace, life has lost its main value. A Greek thinker said, “ If you make a heap of all the customs somewhere considered sacred and morals, then take from it all custom somewhere considered immoral and impious, nothing will remain.” But as fast as these changes have occurred the common man has lost his senses.
The bond between father and son seen in the past is now rarely seen in the modern world. Many rare mothers ought to sacrifice their wants and needs for both children and husbands. Over the change in an industrial way, man has lost not only its value but other people around him too. Despite being the walls of houses too big, neighbors do not trust our ladies. Parents are more likely to accept a spoiled man with a million for their daughters than a religious man with enough. Man has become cruel and insecure. Insecurity is the mother of greed, and cruelty is the mother of fear
