number two hundred and thirty-two
i was just reading ganda's blog just now. and how he was ranting about guys being dumped and girls going around doing their stuff. so this is a response to his post, in agreement to most of what he said.
let's be honest for once. ask yourself if do you really go for inner beauty when you see a guy/girl for the FIRST time? i mean, with all the "oh, inner beauty is more important than outer beauty" crap hanging on people's mouths, take a second to think this over. you're seeing this guy/girl, and you've not really paid attention to him/her. ever. so what's attractive about him/her to you, would not be his character or whatsoever, but rather, looks. isn't it?
we're human beings after all. but it's still "basic instinct" for us to pick somebody who is attractive on the outside, because it means healthiness, and things that aren't so applicable to humans. but the fact is that we still make our choice, at the first stage, based on the other parties' look. don't deny it. because if wives/husbands, girl/boyfriends were picked based on "inner beauty" first, then many people in this world would be single.
so cut the bullshit and hypocrisy about picking somebody and trying to court him/her because he/she has a "good character, is a nice person" etcetc. you don't even know him or her, right?
and of course it all depends on the other parties' willingness to open up to you too. although it might be her/his own choice, it's hard to get to know a person who doesn't let you know more about him/her. but, nonetheless, maybe somethings weren't meant to be.
so now down to a reality we are more aware of. it's true that maybe 16 is a tad too young for a person to take on a serious relationship, but i have to object because not everyone thinks like a 16-year old. whether for the good, or bad. and it's real hard to find somebody that thinks like you do and is able to connect with you. probably that's a reason why most people are marrying late. but it's not true that two different people cannot overcome their differences and be together as well. cases like these are just too many to be counted.
but come to think of it, what do some people really want? it's rather disappointing to see and hear that people (no offence, but mostly women) are going after money. so whatever happened to "good characters"? hey i might look like some freak show, but if i have lots of ka-ching, girls would flock to me like ants to honey. don't deny this fact.
it's really saddening, to think that these are the "modern people" we are looking at, and aspiring to be.
so if you have a few minutes to spare, just ask yourself what do you really want from this life?
"drawn on the blueprints of his dreams"
so come on, tell me.
