Thoughts For Free

You know the idea of, "penny for your thoughts?" Get this, I'm giving you my thoughts for free. Each day I will take one thing which I saw, thought or heard which left me gobsmacked and gave me an itch to comment on it, and write about it. So basically, my opinion on the goings on in life- in my day anyway... Lets see how many installations I can manage. They may be funny, odd, awkward or just random, but one thing they will always be is brutally honest and even surprising, and definitely entertaining and informative, so lets do this.

What caught my eye today? I was surfing the net and I saw a pop-up which said the following: Live in Tajikistan? Get a Divorce by Text

Excuse me?! What is the meaning of that? Is this Tajikistan place such an epic failure to the point that a divorce the civil way is too sophisticated? Or are the people there so busy such that filing for a paper divorce is too much of a time-wasting mission? Can your husband or wife be so bad (after having chosen on your own to marry them), that you cannot bear one more second of being their hubby or wifey?

I take serious offence to this entire concept. What is going on in the world? When did the fairytale end and ditching your partner turn into something as lame as spitting out chewing gum? This is what I would imagine: If we were able to take time out of our busy lives to take other people's time away from their busy lives, so they can witness us standing before a minister, God, family and utter strangers, declaring our love and commitment to each other- for the rest of our lives- the least that my husband can do when he decides that the rest of his life is far too long a time to tolerate me (understandably so, as I can be a handful), is to be nice enough to tell me its over face to face. What is the difference between "please call its over" and divorcing your wife via text? Mxm!

Marriage is a promise to be there for another human being forever plus a day, no matter what. You cannot just sms them saying, "rain check" when you feel as though you're over it. And this is the general matter with the citizens of the global society lately. Things of grave importance have become so insignificant. Voting for the country's president has been likened to rolling a dice. Starting a relationship has become like getting on a ride where you jump off or vomit at random intervals (both actions are inappropriate). Starting a family has been reduced to making children as if you're planting daisies and circulating diseases of all sorts has become like handing out tic tacs. Mxm!!

Get married, don't get married- your choice. But whatever you choose, live with it and if you can't, at least be ashamed about being a coward and having to chicken out. Don't sms your symbol of shame to the next person as if you're proud of yourself. Tajikistan, shame on you!!!!

That's all folks... See you soon
