Marriage! What a word! What a sensation! Who is not pleased to hear it? We brighten up sparkling our eyes with pleasing thoughts in the mind. The children are excited; young ones blush, the experienced ones are delighted to cherish the memory. What is this very word then? Is it really that pleasurable? Of course, it is. However, what I would like to add here is yes, marriage is a pleasure, but, temporary. How? I am here to show.
The very topic 'marriage' has never been considered seriously. It is, of course, a great concern of everybody's life and a big caution is taken on taking decisions, whom to choose a partner for one's life. However, it's not sufficient. A lot is needed to be thought upon it before we move ahead.
We believe marriage is compulsory as it is a natural process and those who challenge nature encounter disaster. But we never care the effects and the misery it has been creating for us. If you want to care it now, have a slight glimpse at it. Proceed further. If not, don't waste your precious time on these useless details.
Take a close look at the world holding us. How is she able to carry such an overload? The world is overpopulated. Crowds and crowds everywhere we go. While walking from home or office or from any other places, look how many heads we see on the way. Where do they all come from? Many don't get enough; neither food and shelter nor any good to wear. Half the world is crying in despair. What for? For their desires unfulfilled, for their shattered hopes, for their dreams turning out false. Earth has become feeble. Now she is old. It is our time to support her now. How can we get ready to produce new babies to deteriorate the present situation and do ill to our Earth by marrying? Let's consider this truth.
Have you seen the married couples complaining most of the time about their partners? Obviously, you have, I know. They are so busy criticizing them they forget they are revealing all the secrets of their conjugal life to other people and get aware of this when it's too late. Also, since it is a matter of relationship, it is most of the time almost impossible to live one's life according to one's will. Dominance is the key factor which ruins this bond. This domination causes both to live in artificial manner. Life is pretended. Individual freedom is not granted. We become puppets. So how can a mere puppet life be worthy? Is not our life to live for ourselves?
We live in reality. A Utopia is limited only in the pages of dictionary. Even if it has been used, it is for the imaginative litterateurs and again the very word gets stuck in the pages of books. Since there is not a thing called 'perfection' in our life, so is the relationship. There can never be a perfect harmony in this bond which many of us expect. All the relations are based on reality and a conjugal relationship is even more contaminated by this factor. So the relationship becomes like that of 2 enemies. However, it is the least important factor of this essay.
Let's analyse ourselves. What are we? We are human beings, so called the highest animals. Are we? I doubt. We claim we are perfect. 'I'm the best and the cleverest'-This is our claim. All of us say that. We have to. Otherwise, we would gain inferiority. But, observing closely, have we attained the perfection qualities? Look at the shameful deeds we have done. How many times a day we lie to ourselves? Uncountable. What are we in real? A hollow; shallow flesh, bone, and blood. That's it. A complete hypocrite. We have inherited all the qualities biologically from our parents, through genes. So how can we claim we will create a good human, a pure human and make it perfect in every sense? What we never could become all our life, can we merely claim to provide it to our offspring? Aren't we cheating ourselves and them, who are not even born? What right we have to do so? It is a sin. Let's not commit it knowingly. We are incapable of raising people, biologically as well as psychologically.
At the end, the essay aims not at going against the institution of marriage, the age-old tradition, but to make you think twice before you take any steps for it. This might help create the world a better place to live in as we already are conscious of the marital effects. And maybe a temporary pleasure will turn out to be a constant pleasure until we live and let others live.
