Marriage...
I've changed quite a lot since the last 2 years. I question all of the traditions, all of the rules, and pretty much everything that usually goes unquestioned, like that elephant in the room thing.Things like marriage; when I was younger, I went with it, I always wanted to get married and have kids, but then I see that marriage is an abstract, useless tradition. Okay, I understand, people love each other, they want to be each other forever, but what exactly does getting married do that "locks" the bond together?
Me and some friends have come to the conclusion that it really is just a "written/contracted I love you."
I don't see whats wrong with just being together with the person you love without marriage, you know, just live together forever, have kids and all that other stuff that married people do.
All you have to show when being married is a ring, and the idea that you are legally together. Eh....
What about that situation? That situation where one person says "I love you so much, we should get married" and the other person says "umm....I don't need marriage to show you i love you, i will love you forever." Either they will realize that marriage is retarded and isn't necessary or the pro-marriage person will get mad and want to leave the "pro-love" person, which just shows the idiocy of their idea of "love"(True love is acquired by marriage?)
so ya, this tradition in my opinion is just a primitive tradition, coming back from the age where women were treated inferiorly to men.
This is just my theory but I see marriage in the olden days as a way to show "ownership" of a woman, not really a choice destined by love, just to show ownership of something "inferior." People sold their daughters(young as hell) to older men for wives, not denied?
So ya, this ranting and raving is just my opinion, and I wanted to post this because not many people do have this thought in their mind, they go with it.
So please tell me(if you are reading this) what marriage actually means to you.
