Marriage is not what it used to be. When we say we're going to marry someone now, we don't necessarily mean that we're going to be with that person for the rest of our lives. And I'm not sure that's a bad thing. If you spend your happiest moments with someone, but not necessarily the rest of your life, is that horrible? - Roberto Cavalli (Details Magazine)
He said it sweetly and nicely. But I feel bad about this. Suddenly, relationships become arbitrary and excusable. Does it mean that now we marry for convenience and no longer for what we're feeling?
Am I just old-school, or this is how life really has become: RELATIVE. Suddenly what's bad can now be good if you give it a good rational explanation.
I think institutions like marriage are built for a purpose, that is to organize us, that's according to philosophers like Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean Jacques Rosseau. Heck, even Machiavelli thinks so. It's better to be feared than to be loved, remember?
