Why Do We Forget So Quickly? The Human Pattern of Reacting, Then Returning to Normal

Image
Have you ever observed how people respond after a major tragedy or crisis? Whether it's a plane crash, a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, or even a health pandemic - there's an immediate sense of urgency. Everyone starts following rules strictly, safety procedures are put in place, and authorities issue new guidelines. But then, over time, it all fades. We slowly go back to our old habits, almost as if nothing ever happened. This isn't just a coincidence. It's a common human behavior - a cycle of intense reaction followed by gradual forgetfulness. The Immediate Reaction When something terrible happens, our first response is shock and fear. Take, for example, a plane crash. Following such an incident, aviation authorities tighten regulations.

Why Is Hindu Culture Being Diluted? A Deep Dive into the Influences

Image
Over the years, many cultural observers, thinkers, and members of the Hindu community have expressed concern over what they perceive as the steady dilution of Hindu culture. This perceived erosion isn’t necessarily due to one factor, but rather a combination of long-standing influences that have impacted how Hinduism is understood, practiced, and portrayed in modern India and beyond. Let’s explore three major areas where this influence is often observed: education , history , and entertainment . 1. Education Controlled by Christian Missionary Influence The roots of India's modern education system can be traced back to British colonial rule. During that period, many schools and colleges were established by Christian missionaries. These institutions played a significant role in spreading English education, which undoubtedly helped modernize India in many ways. However, critics argue that they also contributed to a de-emphasis - if not outright neglect - of India’s native tradition...
