Nothing is static in this world. Therefore, we have to change out thinking and values. We have to accept the change. In our society today what are happening, new values and customs are replacing old ones. Some of us are readily accepting the change in varying degrees and some of us are unable to accept the change and in the process bringing in mental stress and depression. The fast pace of replacement of the joint family by the unitery family in itself is a big change which many of the elders are unable to accept. With globalization, an increasing number of Indians are getting married to foreigners. Some of the parents are gladly accepting their fate and some are pretending to be happy, but are greatly depressed in their heart.
