Work-Life Balance

                                        Work- Life Balance

All of us in the age group of early 20s to mid 60s are engaged in earning a livelihood. Often, if anyone in this age-group does not look employed, eyebrows are raised. Why are we concerned about employment? We take pride in saying That so and so leaves early, comes back late. Actually, we wish to show that the person is hard working. How wonderful would it sound, if that person divides his day between earning for livelihood, helping at home, Spending quality time, pursuing what one wishes to achieve. Isnt this what life is all about?
Young couples career-oriented, marry and realise they consider their career more important. Divorce.
Incase, there is a child, whose responsibility should it be? Reason for divorce.
Husband away from family involved in providing for family.The children grow bullying the only parent who has the sole responsibility of bringing up children.  Father, overcome by guilt brings home most expensive stuff, even if, the children are not mature enough for them.
The third issue faced is, all through the youthful, energetic life is spent in slogging to earn a decent living. When age is not in favour, health issues and family time issues make our coffers empty. We earn so that we can spend when we cant earn anymore! Ironic, isnt it?
