- Life is a balancing game that runs on the basis of trust. Without the trust factor life would be no less than hell. This term ‘trust’ is applicable in every relationship that one encounters in their lifetime. The more close the relation, the greater is the trust.
Family runs on this line of trust and understanding. The ability to cope up with each other within the married couples would be an essence of this understanding. Spy is like a poisonous beetle that could prove fatal to this unique bonding nurtured by trust and belief. Spyware could be an advancement in the technology, but married life is more than the height of technological advancement to create a gap. The marriage is a special partnership between two individuals who share every moment of their life. But every person has a sphere around him / her. It essentially requires to be private. Even the life partnership should not be a reason to enter that sphere. The spyware hurts that personal sphere of an individual.
Suspicion is the world’s deadliest poison which could kill a person physically, mentally, emotionally and intellectually. The poison which is so hazardous can easily break a relationship. The bond of marriage that lies entirely on the trust factor would be broken down to pieces with the slightest suspicion. Using spyware could be easy, but that would be an end to the respect, pride and prestige of the relationship that the couples share.
Spyware could help a few cases where one partner might be ditching the other, but the same could not be valid in a lot many cases. Even after having a loving partnership, the suspicion and use of spyware could create a never ceasing gap within the relationship. Hence, the use of spyware is definitely unethical for a good family relationship.
