Fault Lines.....

Let us start by saying that we all have our fault lines. Some might accept theirs while others might very sweetly and amazingly well. But let’s be real, we aren’t those people. We embrace the weirdness that is US. We also make sure we don’t shy away from the fault lines found in us.

For example, I had a discussion recently where I labelled myself an optimist who is a cynical realist. What that means you might ask? It is when someone with all their heart wishes for the best, but knows that the world is crummy place and doesn’t amount up too much.

So as a cynical realist, it is my responsibility, self-anointed one I might add, to be able to make sure that I spread around the realism which I foresee. For example, there is no such thing as love. Ok hold on, I don’t mean there is no love per se. there is love. I mean look at our parents, they put up with our shitty existence and all our fault lines no matter what.

All of you out there who have been kicked out of their homes, need to become Asian. Believe me our parents don’t let go no matter what. So yes, there is love. But there is no love when it comes to a man and woman. Relax, I will explain why and how I have come to that thought. A man and woman are built to need each other. So no matter what they all have to end up together. It is like two halves of a whole. There is no other option.

Like I said there is a reason we end up together. I mean why would a woman, who earns well for herself, has no need to bear children, yes well that is another reason which men and women end up together. So one thing at a time. So a woman, who is earning well for herself, has a good stable home, a family who loves her, has no need for uprooting herself, to another man’s home. Where she has to be subjected to the many wishes thrown her way.

Now I might add, that not all wishes are unreasonable. But well she might not want to put up with it. Next, she has to now share her room and washroom (the horror!!!) with a man!!! Right so for the male masses reading this, I agree not all of you are slobs, but I have a brother and a father. Their room never is clean. And when they do get to cleaning, it becomes too clean for any of us to be able to enter in it.

Let us now get around to the procreation bit. So yes, there are women, who would rather not bear children. Some would love to no doubt. But there is another way of looking at it. We have a lot of orphan children in this world, adoption is not a bad idea. We should try to minimize the hungry children running around the world. Instead of creating more spawns. Let me tell that I love children. I have brought up my sister, and cousins, so I have nothing against children.

However, the ones who think they are entitled to the world just cause mummy and daddy would want them to shut up and make little or no noise, are the real problem. Women, are brought up to believe, that bringing children into this world are the reason for their existence. Yes, again there are others who aren’t brought up like this. But the ones who are should know that they need to be able to bring them up properly.

Bringing the whole thing around to where I started. Spending your life with someone is not easy. You have to manage your and their fault lines. It has to be done in a way that your life doesn’t become a living hell. Over time, one of two things might end up happening. You either get so used to each other’s fault lines, that you end up becoming numb to them. Or they start grating on both your nerves so much that you combust.

I seem to have lost my funny flair. Ah well. That’s the thought for the day.
