Sometimes I know that sometimes it becomes necessary to just choose right now and be done with it.
Time constrains, life constraints and everything almost force your hand and then you have to make a choice. And you do. You just do it. It's almost automatic sometimes. Marriage fascinates me.
It's the only thing in my mind that universally is considered correct and appropriate in the lives of all humans. This fascinates me. It's a human invention of coupling with rules. It's surely natural, it's normal, it's a must...You will be married.
That's my example. I sit on the tube and I notice people who are fused to each other, couples. At times it seems they are happy at other times it seems like they are bored, in step, monotonous, getting-by - but relieved, content... passed that all pressure getting together etc.
And I wonder, if it's times like this when this pressure is necessary. Like an evolutionary mechanism to get the species to reproduce, one of the many tricks up mother natures sleeves. Furthermore I wonder if we can realise it, give into it or can resist it. I wonder if it's how important ones choices are to ones own representation of oneself, that defines whatever choice one makes... Bottom line it seems is to not settle for anything contrary to your own needs, ideas and ideals.
But do people just settle by default?
