My parents married poorly. That fatal error doomed them to a life of very little meaning and unhappiness. My father married my mother because she was beautiful. He said to me I wanted the best things in life. The best car, the best house and the most beautiful woman. That was your mother. She was the most beautiful. I had to have her. My mother married my father because she saw the potential for him to be rich and powerful. She said to me Your father spoke of great ambitions. He seemed driven. He was doing well and I only saw him do better. I wanted a successful man. That was what I saw in your father. Without great surprise my parents eventually divorced. It was a relief for me. My parents never showed any signs of love. Since my birth I cant recall a genuine moment of two people who would die for each other. The only thing of worth to spawn from their ill fated union was us, their children. My mother though still beautiful has grown bitter and soul ugly from the lack of genuine companionship and happiness. My father, though got a glimpse of the life he wanted never truely amounted to anything of measure. He wanted something that was merely a product of the cause but had no intention of pursuing the cause itself. He wanted the car, the house and the woman but those things are byproducts of a purpose and dreams. He had no purpose because he chose not to discover it. I love my parents. They have provided for me most of my life. I may have not learnt a great deal about being a person or man or how to treat people from them but I never went bed hungry. I share this tale because I see young women and men who marry checklists and who miss out on companionship because thats what they search for. I see my mother and father in them all the time. So the idea of marriage has disgusted me now. I will endeavour not commit the same foul as my parents. I hope I succeed in that. I hope always to choose happiness above all else. I hope I find a soul who searches for the same. But that will be years from now. I still have a purpose to fulfil by myself so they find a being who doesnt need them to be completed but who wants them to be there as they complete life.
