”How to get him back” vs. ”How to mend a broken heart”
Where ever we go we see love. I sometimes get the impression that everything evolves around it. 80% of what’s projected from the television screens deals with the topic. It seems to be especially true in North America. Oprah will be pushing another romantic novel and on the next channel some guy with super powers will be flying off with his gorgeous girlfriend. We see the same trend on Amazon. You can find a lot of titles that promise advice on how to get over an ex or even how to get your ex boyfriend back. Entertainment publications, talk about about celebrities. They publish information about celebrity breakups and cheating.
It’s so evident that it’s not even worth mentioning. We are clearly preoccupied by romance.
Please don’t think I’m against it. On the contrary I’m all for love and think people should talk about it more, but in a slightly different form. The topic should be discussed more in industrialized countries like The Russian federation and Netherlands. These countries see a diminishing population. In many of those countries people think more about their work and how they will succeed in life. While in reality success is often a matter of having a good family.
Media praises money and riches and pays less attention to love.
It’s not to say that there are no “love” shows in those countries. Alas, they show scenes of drama and tragedy, we don’t see enough family happiness and unity. Breakups and unfaithful lovers are put on the spot light, while a simple happy family is considered boring and stays in the background. We see the same trend in printed media. There are now more and more books that explain how to get over a bad breakup. Titles that talk about how to get your ex boyfriend back are rare and far between (they prefer to talk about cheating lovers instead). In my humble opinion those things will do more good than harm.
In certain parts of the country 1 out of 3 couples divorces after a mere 2 years of marriage. When will this end? Those are mind blowing statistics! It’s as if people decide to jump the ship and shop elsewhere too quickly. I think that almost all problems have a solution. If a husband finds out that his wife is cheating he might jump the boat but… What caused this infidelity? Is it something that husband did not do? Could this be a one time thing, that can be prevented if the couple establishes a better spiritual connection? In many instances it is a small difference that makes a big change. Many estranged women say that they left because they weren’t getting any acknowledgment.
On that account, I suggest that we cherish each other. Let’s look at similarities and not the differences. Let us try to listen and understand. Let’s choose love instead of hate. Because in the end of the day love always prevails.
