AGAINST LOVE
I have noticed that among my friends, almost everyone is getting married, at least those who have the same age as me. Those who still have no commitments don’t understand the married ones; they are not in such a hurry and would like to enjoy a little more the single life.
There is an implicit
obligation to get married before we reach the thirties, do you agree? The
feeling I have is that, after thirty, you either remain single for the rest of
your life or there is a rush to find a soulmate before forty. Seems like there
is a sense of despair and everyone has to exchange wedding rings as urgently as
possible. What a lack of poetry.
They are all guided by
an idiotic logic: from the age of 15 to 25, they had the time to study and also
to enjoy life and its pleasures; everyone hung out with everyone without commitment or despair. From
26 to 35 years old, everyone is concerned with their jobs and careers. So it
seems that after that it’s too late for romance and children so don't even
think about having them, so the expenses are huge! And people forget about falling
in love.
However, does getting
married before 30 mean happiness? I read an article in a women's magazine that
said yes, it is a guarantee of happiness. She wrote that she married at that
age not out of love, but that it is gradually emerges… you discover love along the marriage. But
that’s not the worst: she also wrote that, if there is no love in your
marriage, it may be a good financial deal. Which brings me to scammers,
self-interested human beings that only think about their own interests.
As a counterpoint of
getting married before 30, she also talked about getting married at the age of
50. She said that, at that age, you have already experienced everything, you do
not have so much time ahead, you have traveled enough and you will not be
willing to commit to a daily routine along someone else.
Was this absolute or
relative truth? I think she is against love.
It is outrageous to
think that way. There is no better time to get married. Love will happen when
you least expect it. And this writer kind of puts people in their 50s as
already walking to their graves. As if
each day there was not a surprise and unexpected situations couldn’t happen.
If it happens at 30,
good. If it happens at 50, very good.
Forged that talk which
says love is out of fashion and will probably never come back. In any stage of
life, it will be like a breath of fresh air to open your lungs, an eye drop, a
balm for your soul. Everything is more beautiful with love. I know, I am very
romantic.
But there is no right age
to be in love. When it happens, accept it with an open heart. So, no age limit
for love, dear columnist. It may show itself when we’re 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60,
70, 80... And it's really worth it.
