The social hierarchy of frustration
Just like the good moments gets passed along from one to another, sorrow travels too. Like any new birth in a family lead to all near and dears running to call up/visit home/send cards same as any bad news event gets travel as well. Let’s take the case of frustration. What happens when you are frustrated, you behave rudely with your friends/family members. What does they do, they generously pass it along. Just imagine some cases in our day to day life:
From Boss to Chunnu ke Papa : Kuch kaam tum theek se nahi kar sakte (You can’t do anything right)
Chuunu ke papa to chunnu ki mom (after coming home) : Ek chai nahi bana saki badiya, u can’t do anything right.
Chunnu ki mom to her Maid: Theek se safai karo, u just can’t do anything right
-- Another scenario:
Chunnu ki mom to chunnu ke dad: Aaj take ek diamond set nahi dila sake, you are worthless
Chunnu ke Dad to his driver: Theek se gadi chalo, ek to kaam kar lo kabhi life mein..
Driver to his wife (raat ko): Aaj phir khana badiya nahi banaya, you just can not do anything right.
So, who is always at the receiving end of this Social hierarchy of Frustration: The Driver’s Wife/ Pion’s Wife/ Maid. I mean why always these people. Are they destined to make a social cause and alleviate this world of unending frustration? Why the sky falls apart on these poor souls only. Though it may make the famous Chunnu couple lessen their pain a bit but at what cost, torturing the people who at their lowest level of Maslow Hierarchy.
But what happens in so called developed countries, there these people are not at the lowest level of food chain. They earn almost as much as we earn as software engineer. So is that the cause that in India, our famous Chunnu couple is still a couple (by mentally relieving themselves on readily available and accommodating maids) but in US they vent out their frustration on each other and hence higher Divorce rates and living alone.

Humnmn well I won't call it frustration. It is, for me, a structure based on mutual agreement that if one is lower in rank to somebody, he or she will get the rebuke.
Talking about couple, we find that foreign countries have large number of divorce cases because the tolerance is not there. They find it more convenient to break up and move forward than to face and meet the challanges. In India, the case is different. The couple respects the oaths which brought them together. It is not that the divorce cases are not there but the number is less because even after getting the rebuke, the point of refuge lies with the same person.
