2nd Thoughts

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

Relationships form for various reasons…. It could be for the ease of loneliness that one feels or it could simply that we want to share our experiences of life with a special someone. Yet from these simple reasons, one can use reasons to hurt those that they love. The lack of communications has been the bane to many relationships.

However, looking at marriages in the recent years and compared them to those of the yester years, we will find that despite the many difference that the couples faced in the past they were able to survive their marriages. The alarming increasing rate of divorce cases that we see in the recent survey shows that couples nowadays lacked the tolerance that our predecessors have for their spouses. Though there might be a majority group that says that there was no equality among the couples in the past compared to those in the recent years. But looking at the figures, is equality among the sexes that important to wreck marriages? Or are there more factors at work here?

The Women Charter of the law was drafted to protect the women from the yester years. For they were the group who suffered in silence to see to it that their marriages survived no matter what happens. However, in the recent years there are rises in cases whereby the male are the ones who are suffering at the hands of their wives. Yet the law still protects their group of “fairer” sex when the marriage goes down the path of divorce. Is it really fair? In the past, the males almost seemingly commands a higher earning power compared to the females, given the same position as it had always been a male dominated world. Nowadays the case is not always so. It is a survival of the fittest in this century. It all bores down to the facts that who is more educated or has a higher ability to bring in more income for the company, regardless of their sexes.

Some may say that, “What a MCP this bastard is!!!” But search your hearts people… Is it really simply a MCP making a statement? Or is it the fact that this portion of people who are enjoying the elevated status for the female half and yet still wants to reap the benefits of the yester years? Not saying that the Women Charter is totally outdated however, certain laws need to be amended…. Only a women’s modesty can be outraged by a male and not vice versa? I don’t think so… But many people still believed that a female couldn’t rape a male…

The female half of the species have been battling to be seen as an equal in this world yet when ever it comes to events or factors that is to their favor, they silently admitted the fact that they are the fairer sex and require the protection of the masses and by the law. Is it equality? Can TRUE equality ever come to being? Perhaps only when the humans can abandon the traditions that has being embedded into our being that there are difference in the treatment for boys and girls then can there be true equality….

Questions of Life

Monday, September 12th, 2005

well penning my very first blog. Been feeling rather down recently. Reason… well something to do with the very meaning of life.

Why do people get married? Government says it’s for the purpose of procreate so that there will be the next generation to run the country… Some for the sake of getting a flat…. others… well only God knows.

Being in my profession, I’ve seen the dark side of humanity… wat was once a loving couple turns to the worst of the enemy. Tons of ppl complaing about their ex spouses doing all sort of things that they feel to be wrong or evil…. responding to calls about husbands beating up their wives or children…. or wives abusing their husbands or child…. Why is it that wat once was LOVE has turned into something so ugly??? Is it really human nature to destroy or simply that there is not enough communication?

Recently it came to my attention that among my friends,  there are a few whereby they are meeting difficulties in there marriage or relationships. One of them has been married for a couple of years with a child in tow. Husband was not happy with the way how his wife view in holding a job with a stable income and the wife angry that her husband is controling who she can go out with and who she can’t.

Y did these problems surface only after marriage? Shouldn’t they have gotten to noe about each other before they walk down the aisle? Or did they believed that after marriage the other party will come to terms with wat their own expections of the others to be? Humans always take chances in life but very often then not they are not able to see clearly the situation when there are other factors to cloud their judgement.

How does one noes that they are in love? What are the signs? What excatly runs in the person’s mind? Do we really understand the nature of love? Recent years, there has been a hot debate about leaglising marriage between couples of the same sex. Some are for it some are against it. Religions will not stand it yet in the reality world they exsist and even co exsist with the religions cause religions preaches foreberance to all and not to discriminate. The world is simply full of contridactions. Love turns to hate… It also invoke jealously, suspisions, anger… Emotions that destroy not only their partner but also themselves. Yet ppl continues down this doomed path.

I thot that I had found the purpose in my life but some how or rather it seems that the purpose has turned it back to me… What irony!? I’ve also thot myself to be an understanding person and because of the environment that I’ve been brought up in… With parents that are not talking to each other and not even sleeping in the same room, I’ve promise myself that I’ll not walk down the same path as my parents and to love my wife whole heartily. I believed that I’ve done that but it seems that my wife does not share the same sentiments.  The very reasons of our marriage has simply came slamming back at my face and Love…. watever of it has simply vanish into the thin air.

Well at least it seems so to me. Will end off here for the time being…. Many thanks to those who spends time to read this rather long and boring blog. Feel free to drop me any commets or thoughts that u might have.
