Being married, is it all that it's cracked up to be? I don't know. It's
almost frightful to think of spending the rest o fmy life with anyone. I
have trouble enough keeping interest in the same music. And think of all
the different people that you know. To find happiness with one person is
difficult in the extreme. It also seems like you're selling yourself
short if you are married. There are so many different things to love in
this world. And let's say you find someone who you think is perfect and
marry them, what's to say that in five years you don't roll over one
morning and decide that you don't love them. Depending on your religious
or personal views you could be screwed.
Another thing, if you love someone with all your heart, why is marriage
necessary? If you think that you'll spend the rest of your life with
someone, why do you need to go in a church and prove it? Is it so that
you can't back out as easily. I mean, you would be disappointing the Lord
himself if you get divorced. But why does it need to be not easy to back
out? If you don't love someone it should be pretty easy to leave them.
There shouldn't be all this extra baggage that you have to get rid of
also.
If music be the food of love, play on
Give me excess of it, that surfeiting
The appetite may sicken and so die
That strain again, it had a dying fall
Oh it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets
Stealing and giving odor. Enough, no more
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before
Oh spirit of love how quick and fresh art thou
That not with standing thy capacity
As the sea not enters there
Of what validity and pitch so o'er
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute so full of shapes is fancy
That is alone high-fantastical
Orsino-Twelfth Night, Shakespeare
