I think that dating is like spending a day in an amusement park. There are so many rides, so many activitities to do, so many planning, so many people, so much time wasted on the trip and queuing. Ultimately, we either go home exhausted but happy or dreadfully terrified of all the buzz the park has to offer.
Two rides that I think can represent my view on this topic are the roller coaster and fairy wheel.
The roller coaster offers us excitement. Dizziness, speed and that upside down mechanical wonder that often make people dizzy and stomachs churn. But after a while that butterfly feeling that you get when it goes downward disappear and you get used to it. It becomes a boring ride after you get on it for a couple of times in a row.
On the other hand, the fairy wheel seems to be packed by family and kids and look boring to the adventure seeker. Although, I have to say that being on it enables me to look at my surrounding clearly and I am amazed by how relaxing and peaceful it makes me feel.
I think that ultimately, most people seek stability in their life and many hope that ultimately, marriage is the island where you, after a long sail asea, end up settling at.
Maybe some marry for reasons other than love. Money, status quo, family pressure, the need for reproduction, ticking biological work, fear of loneliness, or just for the sake of it because you don't want to end up being alone. This all bring us to some of human basic needs, companionship and love.
If you are the adventurous type blessed with perfectly healthy and working body until you grow old, than I guess that arthritis, osteoporosis, and those other 'age-related ailments' are not hindrances which will stop you from riding all the adventures and new rides the parks have to offer.
Plastic fantastic or an eternal diamond? You choose
