Interesting but not new. There are very few people male or female who wish to not find a mate. They are the exception and they end up largely old and unfulfilled with no grand children and like a withered branch that never bore fruit soon dry broken and forgotten. I know several women who I hold dearly as friends but it is painfully clear they are so very alone. Some are jaded after having bad relationships, some who chased their careers till now they have only their single bedroom apartment and some pets. It is the world we live in that is unnatural in the sense it has come to encourage men and women to chase that which separates them from doing what gaining resources was from the beginning really about and that is living life and building families not dieing painfully alone and unfulfilled.
I’m not saying that one can not be fulfilled and be alone I’m just saying that most people will never be and if they are fooled into believing that they will be fine then the night they find themselves hugging a pillow in the dark crying so very very alone after most of their friends have went on and lived their lives and have had grand children and a companion to share the twilight years with will be all the more bitter. The messiness of relationships may not be easy but those that choose to stand on the sidelines thinking themselves superior are only fooling themselves.
Well said.
Not everyone is meant to be with someone either...
I mean, yeah, the majority of folks are better off with someone, but there are those who are far better off alone...and happier.
Yes, it’s true. Just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean it’s not true. And yes, I’ve been married and single, and single far far far is better than married. And a lot of it had to do with a very high need for solitude.
