Of Victors And Victims

     The society is not very good a place to be in. You get judged. You get advised. You get critiqued. And what not. The society surely runs with the help of a certain number of rules, that, one could say, are necessary. But along with it, just like you say, "You'll get an apple, and I'll get one" (though apples these days don't taste that great,) people must have got to frame rules. And in the name of each one getting to frame a law, the society probably got laws which act like barriers, which, when repealed, would not lead to any anomaly in the system.
     One such law, a social law, I specify, is the one regarding marriages. If marriages are so very Made-In-Heaven, why on earth do we have divorces? (These imported products, I say!) Well, people, over the centuries and millennia in history, have taken certain things to be granted. Why, I ask, can two men or two women not marry? Pat, comes the answer-they cannot procreate. Whoa! And I thought marriage was sacred! So, could we take for granted that the sole reason why marriages take place is because you need to keep the population on the increase? No, no. That is so insulting to a serene, sacred institution like a marriage. Whatever!

     

     So, I don't know the when and how of what will induce a change in the perspective of marriage. You are whatever if you take up Arts after scoring well. You are a brainiac if you are a Sciencie. If you are rich, you must be arrogant. If you are poor, you must have no 'attitude'. Wherever it is, that this society is heading! And they define society as an institution of civilised people with a sense of right and wrong.
