Axiom 3
Relationships end when either of the two parties depart from one another, whether in death or in life. Axiom 2 always follows
If you don’t agree with any of the three axioms above, then disengage from this argument—right now. All of the following arguments and any proceeding comments must make use of these three axioms in order to be considered a valid viewpoint.
A Case for the Singles
In a world where everything is temporary, cheap, and easily disposed of, there’s nothing more frightening than realizing that someone out there, some stranger you were stupid enough to fall in love with, feels that your feelings, your heart, the very essence of your being, are just as cheap. But, one must realize that:
Humans are bastards. (Period)
You must realize that deep within everybody’s heart lies a wicked and greedy nature. We call it primitive. We call it human nature. People are out there to get the best deal they can, on everything in life. You have to remember, no one is willing to pay more than they have to, and that includes relationships. If someone thinks that you were a waste of time, waste of money, or waste of whatever, then you’re liable to have your heart tossed into the blender and crushed—pulverized.
So why fuckin’ bother with this crazy life? Why do I feel so damn depressed at the prospect of living such a lonely life? Why is it that the prospect of living with someone is just as grim as living alone?
Well, loneliness is just a part of life. There’s no way around it. You walk into this world kicking and screaming; and most of the time you’re doing the same on the way out. Life is not about happiness. Life isn’t about finding your “soul mate.”
Life is about service and suffering.
Once we’re born into this world, we experience pain, heartache, and hopelessness. We pay our taxes. Then we die. How wonderful. What a great deal. I’m so glad I came to enjoy the event, just like everyone else in this god damn world.
Regardless, in the mist of all this unpleasantness, a woman/man isn’t going to solve anything. What could they possibly fuckin’ give me? What could they possibly do for me that would change the whole paradigm of life?
Companionship? Ha! Why is that so great? If you want companionship, you get a fuckin’ dog. Can she/he be more loyal than a dog? Can she/he never betray me? Never lie to me? Always love me? Protect me? Fuck companionship from a human. Humans were never good at empathizing with me 100% of the time; not like a dog at least. At least an animal has the discipline to love me forever, no matter what. I can’t say that I’ve ever been betrayed by a dog. Yet, I can say that every single fuckin’ human being has betrayed me at least once. Well, would ya look at that? Surprise, surprise. Human companionship is just bullshit.
So what can a woman/man give me?
Money? No, because I’d be the one spending the money on making them happy.
Time? No, because I’d be spending time with them instead of doing more productive things, such as working or writing this super-depressing blog post.
Energy? No, because it takes energy to actually develop any relationship. The laws of thermodynamics really are a masterpiece; they work in relationships as well.
Happiness? No, because they will always break my heart in the end. Always. Even if we married and loved each other unto death. Death brings about misery. Their death would break my heart. Thusly, it’s a lose-lose situation. Now, if I ended up dying before them, then they’d be sad; it’d sadden me to see a loved saddened by my death. Quite the conundrum.
So, what’s the solution? Live alone forever and be miserable? Be stupid and marry someone you’re in love with?
If you chose the latter, then you’re wrong.
I’ve been in love before. I’ve experienced heartbreak. Shakespeare was wrong.
It’s a hella of a lot better to have never loved at all than to have loved and lost. Jesus, what the hell was the man thinking?
Anyways, life sucks.
