※ 引述《ambrosio ()》之銘言： : Marriage is a road in the life journey, but certainly not the path in life. : How many happy couples have i witnessed around me? --> None. : People say it's better to have some to quarrel or fight with than none. : However, i'd rather quarrel with a stranger than someone sleeping beside me. : Chinese say relationship always improves after a quarrel settles down. : I'd rather better the relationship by sharing delightful time. : Constantly persuaded by someone whose marital relationship is as bad as yours, : I don't feel convinced at all that marriage entitles us to happiness. : But, don't get me wrong. I don't oppose marriage. : Just don't fucking tell me I don't ever live without marriage. : And at last, please manage your own life well. : I never really want to get involved in it. I have my own to live, too. I take a similar stance with respect to marriage. The 'happily ever after' couples found in fairy tales are extremely rare. And in my own experience, I find none. All one hears is the 'fast-food' marriage--Hollywood style. Marriage is an artificial institution created to support traditional lifestyle and human dynamics. In this modern world of ours, I see very little point of getting married. Because I personally think it is possible to be involved with more than one person at a time (simply because we can meet more people than those who lived hundreds of years ago), marrying 'one' person for the rest of my life feels like a prison cage. I desire freedom, and if I happen to like two or more individuals at the same time, I firmly believe I am entitled to do so without interference from family and society. The hell with those who preach 'marriage' and 'monogamous relationship' as the ONLY ways humans could interact. There is not only ONE path in the journey of life, as the OP so succintly states. Everyone requires different experiences to build up their 'portfolio of life'. And to those who keep bugging me with 'go get a gf' or 'get married' or the the like, please go have a life of your own and stop being nosy if my unique life doesn't fit within your narrow view of life. In fact, I feel very proud to be thinking and acting outside of the box (i.e., the societal norm and bland conformity). -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.208.58.98
