15 What does the rising divorce rate mean?

My feeling is actually: actually, I'm looking forward to the future when everyone will not get married, just fall in love, stay together at the right time and leave at the wrong time. This way, you don't have to be bound by each other, and you don't have to be complicated by marriage and divorce.

Of course, this is impossible. Before discussing why the divorce rate is so high now, I think we should trace back to the origin of the marriage system.

To be clear, the marriage system is actually the product of a certain degree of economic and social development. After satisfying the basic pursuit of material life, human beings will begin to seek spiritual security. If people don't make relevant regulations to restrain some things, then maybe society will become chaotic.

At the same time, the whole society derives a series of social systems through the marriage system, which makes the whole human group develop continuously in a relatively stable state.

As for why the divorce rate is getting higher and higher now. I think it's mainly because everyone used to get married to give themselves a sense of security, and this sense of security had to be given by their other half. But it's different now. If you can give yourself a sense of security, the existence of marriage will have no original meaning.

For the simplest example, if you tell your parents that you don't want to get married in the future. Then they will tell you very seriously that mom and dad can't accompany you for a lifetime, and there must be someone around you to reassure mom and dad.

But it's not like this. There are so many welfare facilities in society now. Even if I am not married or old, as long as I have enough money, I can still enjoy beautiful things with like-minded people. Loneliness, where to talk?

Therefore, my general idea is that things are produced because they are needed. Similarly, it can come to an end when it is no longer needed.
