I’m not even talking about you. I am sorry that you assumed that. You did your part you didn’t isolate yourself and pride yourself in being alone or unattached. Why are you taking this personally? I was referring to those discussed in the article who place all the wrong things ahead of growing up and progressing to build families. I wasn’t talking about widows and those who have through no act of their own found themselves alone. I do find something very wrong with a culture that celebrates careerism and individualism that is bordering on selfishness and vanity.
Human beings are meant to grow up and form bounds and families. That is a basic truth and that is not about Noah’s ark but about science. I could be harsher and say that those who pride themselves in not forming families are at a very basic level choosing to be unfit as Darwin would put it. I’m just addressing the lie of the modern world. I do not have any gripe with those who choose to live and be alone personally. I just think that such stories about how young women are choosing to forgo families is unnatural and harmful to them in the long run. Also it is harmful to the human race. No one is required to care about the human race because we are individuals but as long as we are talking discussing a bunch of freemales I think rational analysis based on simple truth should be considered first versus the tired old liberal feminism that has left us a bunch of used up bitter aging women who have oppressed men and women alike with their vapid ideas which have made it harder for women and men to communicate and love one another and simply be happy or content. Again I am not talking about you. Please do not take this personally. I just am very tired of the arguments that raise up the most egocentric and selfish individuals among us as if they are the rule and the paths they lead as the most desirable and most “intelligent”.
If you are as you describe then you seem to be a wonderful vibrant person. I thank you for taking the time to respond to me in such a thoughtful fashion since I imagine that one hour a day you spend leaves little time for anything else. ;-) I wish you well najida. (I am a tad bit arrogant but I still am often right.) lol
Fair enough. The only reason I responded the way I did is I really wish I hadn’t listened to those who made be believe that my life would be better ‘with someone’ and something was wrong with me because I wasn’t paired up.
I wish I had learned who I was about 15 years sooner, I could have avoided a lot of misery. I wasn’t meant to be married EVER! Not only was my life hell, but those around me. So yeah, I’m here to cheer on the young ones! You’re happy alone, don’t let someone talk you into doing something that goes against your nature. Know who you trully are, and if its a Hobbit, be the best and happiest Hobbit ever. Don’t listen to “alone is bad” crowd when solitude is what keeps you strong and sane.
As for my one hour.....today’s Sunday, I have 4 hours of human tolerance in me—— but 1 hour of it will be at the grocery store.
