Hindu religion does not stop evil

Religion is supposed to be a way of life.
It is supposed to take human beings to a higher good.

However religion I feel has not been successful in creating a fear in the minds of evil.
Hindu religion says that if you do good deeds you will be born as a human in next life.
However there is no proof for this theory.
Whatever your bad deeds are, you are going to pay for them in the next life. 
This doesn't in anyway create a fear of consequences in the minds of evil.

Also religion says there will be one god who will fight against evil.
Therefore people themselves don't take any action.
They wait for the supreme to solve their problems.
I feel that only way for us to stop the evil is that all good needs to come together.
Unless the good come together evil will always succeed.


The dilemma of the new age husband

Men of my age grew up seeing our mothers take care of the family.
She sacrifices her own self , her interests for the sake of family.
This image is somehow etched into our minds.

When we grow up we unconsciously link our mothers to the kind of life partners we want.
We unconsciously want our families to be nurtured the same way that we were nurtured.
But in modern day life is changing.
We are living at times wherein both partners need to work and be financially independent.
In today's world the female partner wants to work, she wants to follow her own passions and wants to live life her own way.

While gender equality is understood it goes against our image of the family we are brought up with.
This creates a huge dilemma for the modern day husband,
The pre-conceived image and the new age demands keep conflicting..
