A Perfect World With No Marriage
For me, the world would be a better place if there
should be no concept about marriage at all. Love is romantic, but marriage
seems not. Marriage is the grave of love.
Marriage
life is a heavy burden. People would feel that they were in a living hell even
though they were fiances. After the proposal, they must have almost run out of
money due to the purchase of dear diamond rings. Then, they had to prepare for
wedding ceremonies, which could cost vast funds. Furthermore, I do not think
that wedding ceremonies might be very romantic because their parents and
relatives must have got involved in. After wedding ceremonies, parents would
give pressures to the couple if they did not want to have a child, especailly
in Asian countries. Feeding a child might cost more than a million dollars, as
well as mental efforts. What the most important thing was that it was not
refundable, while they could refund the diamond rings. Marriage life is so
horrible.
To
remain single can gave people more freedom. In a single status, there is no
need to worry about the third party; there is even no second party. So, if a
husband went to Geylang or Orchard Towers every night, why not just to keep
single at first? This kind of marriage is unfair. In a word, it is better to
keep single if marriage life does not suit.
A
world without marriage is wonderful, but it is just a utopia. If this happens
in my life, please bless me.
Maybe you could read the famous Chinese novel "Fortress Besieged" written by Qian Zhongshu. This novel delivers the idea that the marriage is like a besieged fortress. This idea is quite similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! There are many good reasons to be married. The only person on earth who is committed to loving you in whatever state you are is your spouse. Your children and parents and siblings and friends are not obligated to follow you if you migrate overseas, or to quit their jobs to take care of you when you are sick. Only your wife is obligated to do so...so reconsider. Hope to receive your weddding card some day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind reply.
DeleteI always love my beloved one. I am just not very satisfied that the society especially in China pushes too much on the "should-get-married" generation.
Besides, I do not agree on the laws or rules in marriage very much.
However, everyone can change.
Perhaps, I would be the first one among SM3 20th batch who sends wedding cards.
