While I was at the bus stop waiting for the bus to fly me home after an arduous tuition session, my mind started wondering about love, marriage and relationships.
"Don't worry, you will find The One eventually"
We have all heard this sentence over and over again, the mandatory comfort words after a friend has gone through a break up, what your mother tells you when you ask her about Prince Charming, what you tell yourself after a horrible encounter with someone one of the opposite gender.
We grow up with this mindset ingrained in us- that one day when you grow up, you will meet someone who will sweep you off your feet and you will be married happily ever after.
It is almost as if it is an obligatory life mission of some sort- marriage i mean.
Well i suppose it is sort of, otherwise the human race would have gone extinct a long time ago.
But have you ever thought about the exceptions?
Of the people out there who are nearing their forties but are lone rangers.
Will you really find The One as what your parents or society has been telling you?
What about those people who are married, not to someone they love but because of familial obligations or even culture.
The arranged marriages, the shot gun marriages, the ones who are raped and then forced to marry the rapists?
Perhaps, just perhaps, it is because of these various factors that screws up the "Pairing System" of the universe.
"Pairing System" as in the theory that says that everyone of us has a Soul Mate out there in the world.
Now that I think of it, I doubt the Pairing System really works now anymore.
I mean fundamentally if it is to really work, there has to be an even number of human beings on this planet right?
Hm.
Which makes me wonder about The One, and how do people really know that they have found THE ONE?
And what if someone actually found The One but due to the many worldly concerns and different cultures they pass The One on and settle for someone else?
Wouldn't that then be screwed up cause the people who are "meant to be" are now no longer together and instead a practical marriage is formed instead?
Man, this whole thing is just snow balling up.
If anyone of you knows how this whole marriage and "The One" situation works, please do enlighten me in the comment section or talk to me or something because I really do need a wise point of view.
