Metamorphosis of thought

Lately, I've been given too much information on marriage, sex and childbirth.

Just like every other 'participant of dating' , after a heartbreaking encounter, I decided to mend my broken heart and bruised ego by becoming very cynical. I believed all men were pathological liars. I believed they were after only one thing, and we all know what THAT is. I believed that they did not respect women. They did not respect women with an opinion. That marriages were made in hell.They bring out the worst in people. People marry the wrong partners and crib about it throughout the marriage. It makes even the most rational of us, sit back and take the abuse. Men do not believe in fidelity. Their hormones do not give up on them like ours. Their penis has a better sense of direction than their minds. Quite literally.

Babies are a nightmare. They drool , they spit, they poop, they have runny noses, they poop some more. They keep you up all night and day. They grow up to resent you. They tell you they are right and you are wrong. They want to rebel. They want to defy everything you say. By the time they grow up and gain their common sense back, it's time to get rid of them by getting them married. :|

Studying developmental biology, general psychology ,animal behaviour AND attending value ed classes on marriage, it's difficult NOT to have a change of opinion!

We learnt how every cell in the embryo, if even slightly moved out of place can affect the foetus. How many couples suffering from infertility issues go through a roller coaster ride to get a baby. IVF is a very expensive procedure and even then, chances of getting a baby are very slim. Adoption is not a very easy option either. Then you think about so many women, who throw their fragile new-born babies in dumpsters, lay them on railroad tracks and the like. Whether they are suffering from Postpartum depression or the extremity of poverty, it is definitely chilling to know this happens almost every day. Female foeticide not only occurs in the rural areas but also in the so-called 'high class' society of the country. I do not understand how doctors who have the incredible power to save lives end up destroying them in exchange for some damned green paper they have enough of!

Then there are the cases of women having unprotected sex and becoming pregnant. Unsafe abortions performed by people who are not skilled enough can lead to complications. The likelihood of having babies with genetic disorders seems so high, but the human body is so marvelous! How the embryo undergoes different stages of development seems so miraculous and to have a healthy truly seems like a blessing!

Education really provides a platform for an individual to look at natural processes and traditional concepts through the light of rationality and sensitivity. Cynicism should be removed from our thoughts and replaced with optimism! If the key to success is hard work, then the key to happiness is definitely positivity!

so, stop telling yourself only delusional people in love get married and have babies! It may have it's up and downs, but everything else we can encounter isn't a piece-of-cake either, right?

You can be positive and still have your head on your shoulders!

Love,

P.S- my opinion on men hasn't changed much though! =P
