Belief

What do you believe in? the afterlife, God, the government, Darwin, or... Kamasutra?
..........................
Wiki says:
Belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true.
..........................
Belief is assuring something (including an imagination) to be true. In this case, physical evidence is apparently becoming more unimportant and logic itself is useless.

A state of true, therefore is relative by default. But belief, is absolute. 

An absolute state is absolute and yet, when connected with belief, we couldn't fight relativity. We couldn't fight an illogical illusion that was "meant" to be true.

However for some people, relativity is worth to fight. The idea of "true" hence becoming a trigger to drag the "true" illusion into the real world. In this state, something that actually logical is becoming irrational. The irrationality then proposed to be true. True is their irrationality, and it is absolute. Can we fight against this absolute irrationality?

My boss always says "I believe in Kamasutra". Let's see.. Kamasutra is logical, rational, true, and useful. Could it be the only single thing that is rational and at the same time, true? Thus it becoming absolute, a belief. Well... it is (might be) fun and I might find it peaceful.

Living Solo

A best friend once said,
If you like someone because of his/her weakness, it's empathy, not love
If you like someone because of his/her kindness, it's admiring, not love
If you like someone and you just don't know why, it might be love

(that might be true)

Someone other, well.... my ex said,
There's no such thing as love. In other words, love doesn't exist.
Love is just a man-made illusion, wrapped with chocolate and flowers.
When a man and a woman get together, there's no love. The sensation of falling in love came from a chemical reaction, that is... the need to reproduce.

(so.. this "chemical romance" between two "chemical buddies" might also be true)

What about marriage? Is it about love attached to a commitment, or the otherwise?
Why do people get married? "To reproduce" is such a silly thing to say, but that might be true.
Why am I not married yet?
...........................

Others would said,
Marriage is not about the right person, but it is about the right time.You will ended up being married if it is the right time. Err... yes, when the right time comes, you might also ended up marrying... the wrong person. Sucks isn't it..?

Here's to make it simple:
The right person + The right time = good marriage
The wrong person + The right time = bad marriage

And when is "the right time"?
Want to get married + Don't need to get married = wrong time
Want to get married + Need to get married = right time
Don't want to get married + Need to get married = might be the 2nd right time
Don't want to get married + Don't need to get married = be happy!

True, I've tried to drag myself into a 'commitment'. At that time, I wanted to get married (which girl doesn't?). But now, I realize that I wasn't even ready for it... far from good. Therefore, the theory of 'the right time' might also be true.

Some others might say that... When you're at the "right time", you might already find the right person. It kinda reminds me of a song lyric.. "love the one you're with...". It is amazing that for a number of people (in some cultures), love comes after marriage. The couple could even hardly known each-other before the wedding ceremony. Sounds pretty romantic. But dear God.. please just let me fall in love first.. and if it's not a sin to live solo, then marriage could wait, so.... skip!
