Since my childhood, I have never convinced why people marry?
I am a kind of person who enjoys privacy. In our society bachelors are like alien from some other planet.if you are bachelor and 25 plus then all your family relation like aunty, cousins would make fun of you and keep on reminding you that u need to marry as if world is going to end.
We all need one person to share our feelings, who can support us so why can't your gf, friend be that person. Everyone after spending some time in relationship even your girlfriend will expect you to marry and I don't think there is anything wrong in that. We all running behind security, copying others , listening to folks, following the custom from the very beginning when we start understanding and eligible enough to take our decision. I am not against marriage but I never understood why you need an approval from society to be with someone. There is no word called security and if you are running behind security then my friend you are wasting your time soon you will realize that u can't find security in Job, health, money because you might loose them for any reason.
We just never want to stay alone, we constantly need someone around from time to time but if you think deeply then we will come to know that everything is in mind we all are alone even if you are with someone you will feel that hollowness deep inside that cant be fulfilled by anyone.
Cases of Divorces are increasing day by day because people always complain about loneliness, hollowness in their relationship which lead to depression to so many couples.
In Japan large majority of people are unmarried because they want to spend their money on themselves. There is common perception that for men marraige means restricted use of their money and for women it's a financial security as one of benefits of getting married.
We all have two things in our life which take all our time i.e 1) work & 2) hobbies, I can't stop work so if i get married, I will loose my hobbies which means I will have no fun and that would be a terrible life. I like having my own time and space being able to make my own decision eat what I want, go where I want. I hv seen many married couples who are very old now. They don't seem happy. Why would anyone choose that life?????
Well I am not pessimistic about marraige it just that we only live once & we all want to be happy and enjoy our time and space don't we????
Thank You
