Sigmund Freud believed Sex to be motive behind all human activities. It looks his doctrine has inspired many misguided but well read human beings.
A wife of a software engineer arranged a contract killer to
throw acid on her former lover er... her former driver.
Then, one reads, how a married man got infatuated with a girl next door and decided to outrage her modesty .
One can also read about how a mother of four kids want to stay with lover
and have refused to understand worth of family relationship.
It’s not that this is happening for the first time. One may recount how wife of a senior army officer got him killed because she fell in love with his orderly .
We already know-how a young army officer committed suicide becauseher husband another army officer
had an extra marital affair.
Abraham Maslow, the noted organisational behavioural expert has propounded sex as a necessary human want.
Vatsayana , a yogi whose work has been rephrased by Sudhir Kakkar to western based experts has hailed it as - sacred.
However, they way society has treated it , makes a mockery of the whole sacred concept.
These untoward incidents show a fragile social set. Unlike joint family system, modern life has no time
for a complete family gathering .
One can squarely blame the negative impact of western life style and many obtuse social concepts.Alas, we are nolonger different-right from Vamps on TV serials to scantily clad women, drunk and lecherous men to unruly children- we possess all the ingredients of a social flick.
Monetary considerations have hampered the
true meaning of family life.
Ironically, we, the spiritual east that always rue
materialistic west have fallen prey to its ills!

Ashish,
Declining morality...
well...let's face it...we have always been *immoral*...with the exponential growth of the media...we have greater access to *incidents* that went unreported earlier...
Moreover, morality is quite subjective...what happens openly in the West...goes on behind closed doors in our country...
Sex is always on the minds of Indian men...the ones refusing this are hypocrites of the highest order...

dear ashish,
this is a rather complex issue that has dogged mankind since its recorded consciousness.
I feel that it is less to do with east v/s west ,and more with the fact that glitz is easier to acquire than gold.
Our education system that does nothing to truly encourage rationalism,ethics and the moraless social structure where money is the driving factor are also to blame.
The subject requires much deeper analysis than is possible ,ie, the premise of freud alone'
thought provoking
