Understanding is not everyone's cup of joe!

Unfortunately, Understanding is not everyone's cup of joe! The juggernaut world in which we all reside is full of judgemental people who fail in the 'Art of Understanding'. The millieu of us is suffused with people who are master at judging and failure at understanding. Although, without understanding no relationship on this earth would survive. The mounting cases of mental health is a result of only the lack of understanding. The problem that lies in the human race is that we only accept things which we consider right from our perspective and those who go beyond our limit of understanding, we consider them 'Out of this world'. And that's the biggest problem in the world.
Issues like mental health, homosexuality, suicides are rising strongly because of the incapacity of understanding. How often we come across these cases in our daily lives? But we yet not choose to give focus on these essential topics. The teenage era is the most 'stressed' ones. There is plethora of data that contains uncountable numbers of 'suicidal' cases and mostly belonging to children. Is that naive age only meant to undergo such things? Due to the ongoing competition in the world, parents impose the baggage of expectations on their children and force them to score THE BEST OF THE BEST marks and fail to understand the uniqueness of their child. As a consequence, there are only few who are able to cope with that stress and those are unable chose to end their life, considering themselves useless.

Similar, is the case of mental health, we always talk about cooperation, coordination but when someone is in dire need of help, we chose to withdraw our paths from them and isolate them. Instead of understanding the ones who want us,need us ,who want to express themselves we tend move away from them leaving them alone. Due to this pandemic we have already witnessed a huge surge in mental health cases. And still after knowing everything we choose to be silent.

Often I have seen people abandoning their child as they were not the soi-disant NORMAL ones and consider them as ABNORMAL. We fail to recognize the talents of those children and forget associating the word 'Special' to them. As it is very sad to see that a child who is just born and is suffering from any organ malfunctioning is not because of his own fault. As it is not in his hand.

Similar, is the cases of HOMOSEXUALITY where parents abscond their children after knowing what their sexuality is and our society fails to accept them. We often make different groups and confiscate them in it. So, that we the NORMAL ones can enjoy this colorful world depriving the rights of those. And the lacuna in this case is also UNDERSTANDING. Despite differentiating people on the basis of color,creed, race, sexuality, we fail to understand the concept of HUMANITY and often overlook it.
The reason why there is no full stop to Unemployment,Terrorism is only because of not understanding every human being and keeping our avarice on top.

Not only this, but this pandemic era has also encountered myriad of cases of divorce, domestic violence and abusive/toxic relationships. Because for a girl BEING DIVORCED, UNMARRIED are the biggest taboos associated with her. Our society only starts questioning the girl and her family about her age, taunts them for not getting married at the right age, and if married then she is forced to redeem her relationship with her toxic and abusive in-laws. Domestic violence is the major crime committed during the pandemic era. And the only reason behind this is the non-ability of being strong enough to walk out from a relationship or marraige that is not safe for her. And the ones who dare to step out are associated with horrible words making it difficult for the women to survive. Therefore, it is very important for both the parents and the society to understand people from their perspectives and stop imposing their beliefs on everyone.

Understanding is the utmost important thing in any relationship. For any relationship to survive, the only key is Understanding, because without that nothing survives. No matter how you much love someone, if you are not willing to understand them then that relationship is bound to fail. Love in a relationship is mandatory but without understanding it will be ephemeral always.
The problem of not understanding people lies only holding to some stereotypical beliefs in which are trapped and are unable to move out of it. We are getting ourselves drowned in that bog of unwanted stereotypes. We fail to make our perspectives broad and clear instead we choose to obliterate our vision with these craps.
As the love between the parents and their children is unconditional and purest of all but without understanding it do fails too!!
For a person to be understanding he has to empathetic, has the willingness to listen and be cooperative. No relationship can survive without understanding.
Similarly our millieu should have an aura of understanding so that there are almost zero cases of suicide, mental health problems and when such is achieved, then only we can say that we live in an UNDERSTANDING WORLD.

Therefore one should go for Understanding rather than Judging.
