'LOVE'!! I would more call it "Happiness". Life is all about being happy end of it all.
Growing up with parents with their love and affection was happiness.Being with relatives(not always pleasant). Being at school........among friends.......then moving to 'college', University.....and now in a job. Life has been a roller-coaster ride. It has scared me to death but I am still alive!
For now the next level is called "Marriage".........the most important happening in lives of many friends(as well mine) these days. Many hunting for their perfect ones and many getting married. I have seen quite a few marriages for the years I have lived! A few very happy, a few adjusting, a few on the verge to kill each other etc. The happy ones I have seen are a true compliment to each other and to the institution of "marriage" itself, and also to the quote "Marriages are made in heaven!". I have known a few couples who live their married lives like in heaven.
A few quotes on marriage -
- I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. - Rita Rudner.
- It is not a lack of love, but lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. - Friedrich Nietzsche
-A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude. - Rainer Maria Rilke.
-All weddings are similar, but the marriage is different. - John Berger
-I first learned the concepts of non-voilence in my marriage. - Mohandas Gandhi.
-Love is ideal. Marriage is real. - Goethe.
-Damn, it, Sir, it is your duty to get married. You can't be always living for pleasure. - Oscar Wilde
-To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven. - Karen Sunde
-Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along. -Rumi
A few WHY(s)??
Do people marry because its the time to get married?
Because its the right age for marriage?
Because the society say's so?
Because parents want you to get married?
And the list goes on............
But to understand your own dream, to accept another persons dream and to be ready to live them together.........is all not easy......It takes a lot! But on the other hand all that it takes is not much when you have the right person for whom you are doing it!
I am amazed at the strength that a women has. How does she at all stand strong to support one man whom she has met in life through friends, parents, or any other source.....I respect the feeling of a woman where she is ready to sacrifice 'her world'(her parents, her home, her friends.....)
and accept the world of a man she loves. And a man who respects her for all that she initiates to do for him, promises to protect her all throughout. Most of the times on a comparison a woman forgoes her dreams for the man she loves and for his happiness.
Is this marriage?
To stimulate your dreams.....to allow you dream.......to sow his/her dreams into you......to say "We'll live them together" all happens just once. There are many people who don't get fortunate in their lives to marry their 'dreams and fantasies'!!
But why is it forced on them to marry someone else? It is easy to move on in life. Is it easy to accept and love a person who you just do not know?? Where does life lead to if you are not married?
Is it more of how the world looks at it or How you look at your world??
