Questioning

This is my first questioning session. I guess reading a few fellow blogger out and some questions popped into my mind

Why do people want to get married?

I don’t seem to understand what is with the deal with marriage. I should not have to show a bunch a people that I am willing to become committed through an over/under priced ceremony. Once the person and I have made a promise to each other, then we have the same values of a marriage.
Religiously, yes marriage is to show a man and a woman’s commitment to each other before God. But when did it become a relationship’s rite of passage?
I once asked a male friend why he should get married.
He responded,” To remain faithful to one woman and only be with her. Because she is the source of everything am to need, want, protect and desire this woman for the rest of my life.”
My response was: Isn’t that what you are doing when you are dating a woman for a long period of time. Why is that you have to go through a ceremony to get a piece of paper to confirm what your relationship is already biased on?”
I have noticed that more and more people in “long term” relationships feel the need to impel themselves into marriage, as if seemingly, a couple that does not get married their relationship has no validity. My thing is don’t make more out of a relationship than there already is with a force commitment that should come naturally.

Why is media so canned?

I, yes, watch AI on Tuesday night to see what the season was going to be about and snickered at the failed attempts at carbon copy stardom. The whole time I am watching I wondered: where is the creativity, the struggle, and the effort of being a true artist? It seems that the artist that deserve the recognition are pushed to the back and we the reverer’s of art succumb to digging in the pile of muck to get what we really want , human incentives. Now, I used AI as an example but the news, book, movie, dance, art, and theater basically all mediums of entertainment are the same. It is as if I am having leftover forever and it is sickening. Take a moment to think, that is why piracy is so high because people are tired of junk. I’m sick of paying my hard earned dollars to an industry that believes I should have to pay for shi**y stuff . If I went to my employer and treated them the way the media does the reverer’s of art, I’d be out of a job. Why can’t it be the same for media?

Why is that people are complaining with no form of recourse?

I read and I hear people complain about the world around them, yet they do nothing to change or put forth change. Don’t give criticism if you don’t have something behind it to make a change. No not say something to make it better but to actually go out and put the words into action. I see that it is easier for people to speak but to do is a different story. It is disarming to hear great ideas and people are waiting for someone else to go out and do the footwork for them. Unfortunately life and change does not work that way but most people think that it does. There is no reason for a country such as America that is ran by the people for the people to be in such condition that it is in. People say it is the politics yet do you know that we elect those people into office. If we wanted to remove each person we as a nation could but that requires each person to put forth an effort to do that. Americans can’t sit and wait for someone to do it for them because if we each look around that idea is not working.

Why is that when people speak(verbal) they are lazy with the enunciation/ pronunciation of the words?

Ask. Say it . Now do you say ax. Arugh. Yea I know there are people with speech impediments, accents, ect. With those reason out of the way, what is so hard in saying a word correctly or better yet speaking in a manor that another person can completely understand with out misunderstanding? I know I am at fault,and I constantly work on that part of my words. I find it funny when someone enunciates/ pronounces a word wrong and they expect you to know what they said. Umm no, the telepathy is off today and won’t be back ever. Try speaking in a clear manor because it’s really not that hard when an effort is placed.

Well that’s my ranting for now. Thanks to all the writers out there that caused me to think it helped a lot!!

Nykki. Miss ur blog so much. :-)
Anyway, u're asking about marriage. hmm.. I dont know why human need to get married too. But, I definitely want to get married. I want to have a happy family where I can share my success in life with. Of course I have lots of friends. But that is different. They will have their own family too one day. So, I will definitely get myself a wife. :p

To your rant about marriage...I understand where you're coming from because there really is no reason for the official wedding ceremony logically speaking, but we all have to admit that there is nothing logical about life. We always find ways to add meaning to everything with traditions such as birthday parties, graduation ceremonies, and even bar mitzvahs. None of these things are truly necessary, but that doesn't stop us from having them because they can be so beautiful and can add so much meaning to our quotidan existence.

I don't think that marriage is truly about validating any relationship. I think it's more about taking a common idea such as love and making into a type of art because when you think about it all art is is an idea dressed up in a beautiful package.
