Well,here’s to a new day and a new theme. All 3 of you that read this get something new to look at,plus,there’s a post less then 3 weeks after the one before it! This new theme is called Black-LetterHead 1.2 by Ulysses Ronquillo. I found it in the WordPress Theme Directory. Pretty spiffy no?
I was going to talk about games or something in this post,but then I got sent a link to a song by Hinder called “Lips of an Angel”and would like to point out something that is troubling me and makes me worry about the future of our country and society. Basically,the song is about this guy who is talking on the phone with a girl when “his girl”is in the other room. This seems to be the latest addition to a growing list of songs and other media that basically tramples on the idea of monogamy. What happened to good old monogamy? You know,the idea that you fall in love with ONE person and share your life with ONLY them? Our culture is creating things that make adultery and divorce appear to be standard operating procedure.
I know that nobody is perfect,and we all have times where we feel or indulge in temptation if not give into it (myself included),but it’s not something that we should advertise as good behavior,much less expected. The fact that 50% of marriages end in divorce does not mean that we should expect that out of our future. I’m not saying that divorce is always unnecessary either. All I’m saying is that when you claim you love someone and then profess your vows “’til death do us part,”it ought to mean something. The idea that we’re cheapening the idea of marriage for people like my Grandparents that were married till one of them died makes me sick. “We just don’t love each other anymore?”What kind of excuse is that? Love is an emotion that should grow over time,not come and go as it pleases.
The idea of Love,or true love,or agape,is completely lost in these Hollywood romances and the romances in Hollywood. Unfortunately society tells people that this is what love is,here one minute and gone the next. People romanticize the idea and then apply it in their own lives. Thus we have our current situation. The idea of love as it were has been nearly stamped out by this new idea of temporary ties and lusty relationships. What I’m going to seek and strive for is a love that surpasses that,a fulfilling and growing love that will last as long as we both shall live…to death do us part. That’s what I want to have. I just hope there’s still someone out there that will feel the same about me.
