Welcome to my blog’s 70th post extravaganza!
While I had previously killed this gimmick when I abandoned LiveJournal, I think its high time I resurrect it. You new to the game probably have noticed its never-updated section on my website… its high time the Guentherific College be reopened for all students.
Welcome to Advanced Ethics as part of Relationships.
So I begin my lecture… Anthropology 308- Relationships and Mankind
I’m sure you all have heard personally or heard of the phrase “I’ll never ____ you if you were the last (wo)man on Earth! This blank applys to many things but usually some degree of relationship.
But think about this statement. How many people of the opposite gender aren’t compatible with you? Removing obvious social lines such as wealth and nationality how outrageous this statement is. Think of entering a hypothetical situation… Being that last two people on earth. Yeah its unlike it’ll happen but let’s consider it.
Obviously the whole idea of a soul mate, true love, the “one” is thrown out. I discredit anyone that has any moral fibre in their body. Sure its fun to think prince charming or that knight in shining armor is out there to sweep you off your feet. Maybe you’re a guy and wondering about that maiden fair on the balcony. Whatever. The probably of finding this one “the one” is impossible. Serious relationships are in all reality the right person coming along at the right time. Now sure that’s not very romantic, but who cares. This really isn’t meant for people already in relationships. (Effectively dividing my audience in two.)
How many of the people in your age group can you have a happy relationship for the rest of your life? Easily one-half to one-third when you commit to the relationship. Sure religion and moral fibre are important, narrowing this number significantly.
So the next time someone says they won’t date you if you were the last person on earth, laugh. They’ll die lonely waiting for the guy that’ll never show.
