Understanding the Long Process of Alienation
Alienation is a gradual process. Unlike love at first sight, which happens suddenly, alienation builds over time. When conversations that once flowed easily shift into tense silence or late-night questions, it’s a sign that something is amiss. If someone begins to intrude unnecessarily, reaching out constantly or showing sudden care, it may feel as though negativity is creeping into the relationship.
But if, despite realizing this, a person decides to continue down the same path, it becomes a conscious choice—a “cold-headed decision.” Acts like adultery rarely happen by accident; those involved are usually aware of their actions. One person might emotionally distance themselves from their family, while the other may knowingly accept this for the sake of appearances or family stability. This mutual awareness makes both parties accountable.
Platforms like Facebook cannot provide a solution to the deep issues of alienation or divorce. Instead, they often magnify personal matters, turning them into public spectacles for people to judge, gossip about, and move on. Once the comments and shares fade, you are left to deal with the consequences on your own. For these reasons, it’s often best to address such issues privately within the family.
Today, young people are growing increasingly hesitant about marriage, often due to seeing relationships marred by betrayal and dishonesty. Many in this generation are losing faith in the idea that marriage is a sacred bond. They view it with skepticism, fearing they too might face disloyalty. But marriage, when built on trust, is one of the most beautiful relationships, capable of bringing profound happiness.
Let’s encourage each other to resolve personal issues within the family and through legal channels rather than turning to social media. The world needs to see examples of happy, committed couples so that marriage can once again be viewed with positivity. Not everyone is unfaithful; not every marriage ends in heartbreak. Many couples bring warmth and inspiration to those around them, showing that marriage can be a positive, fulfilling experience.
We may hold different perspectives on these issues, and that's perfectly valid. I respect any view that differs from my own, as these discussions help us learn and grow together.
