Rant: Life is great, the sky is blue, and people are silly!

What is on my mind? facebook asks... well let me tell you.
The class lecture I just got out of is on my mind. I've heard it again and again and again and again.......

Love is not enough of a reason to get married.

There are many people who you could fall totally, completely in love with, whom you should never marry! And really, if you really want to, you can fall in love with almost anyone by spending enough time with them and getting to know them. I'm not saying that ideal, but often it would be better than marring someone who you "love" who isn't good for you. Too bad our world doesn't see it that way.

These are the questions you HAVE to ask yourself when you are getting married....

Do you treat him/her well?
Does he/she treat you well?
Does he/she make you a BETTER PERSON/HUMAN BEING?!?!?!

(I feel strongly about this, can you tell? :)

I think we oftten have such fase pretenses about love and marriage, only to be shacked when we get married and realize that its not at all like we imagined. Its different, with the potential to be even better, or even worse than we could ever have imagined.

I don't consider myself a pssimist, or even a straight up realist. I consider myslef an optomisitic realist.

Don't expect people to change for you, but as much as you can, make your world what you want it to be.

rant out.
