The BIG 'M' Word!

"A woman's greatest fear is giving up her identity in a marriage; all she wants is a man to share her life with, not change it..."

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

With the marriage questions looming over my head and practically over the heads of everyone I know... and as I hear what people have to stay.. .I think we all can agree that marriage asks a woman to compromise more than it does a man...

Women are expected to be everything: a good wife, a good daughter-in-law, a good daughter, someone who works but at the same time someone who's at home taking care of dinner and other household chores... The roles are unlimited...

A man just has to be that... a man...

No matter how modern, forward thinking, educated, etc. women are, we are expected to balance everything. It doesn't matter what our ambitions are... as long as we can keep it in line with our family... its ok... otherwise it's a rocky marriage... (of course you can always choose not to get married)... and no matter how modern, forward thinking, educated, etc. a man is... he expects a wife to be a wife above everything...

In the whole process... a woman is scared of losing her identity... because unfortunately it almost seems certain...

gosh that sounds depressing! but on the flip side... i do think if one finds the right partner... who understands the other's identity and can fully accept it... then everything is ok... i guess the keyword here is IF... :)

Cheers to that!

Why you shouldn't fear ghosts?

Read this on some website and thought it was quite funny! It makes so much sense!

The guy who wrote the excerpt below actually did a research paper on this! Amazing what people research...


"The idea of ghosts and spiritual beings often automatically instill fear in some people, but this need not be the case. If ghosts do indeed exist then there would still be no need to fear them, at least not any more than any living entity. If ghosts are rational economic actors then ghosts would have no incentive to severely disturb the living population as it is likely that the costs to the ghost of killing an individual outweigh the benefits. When a ghost kills an individual then that individual could then conceivably turn into a ghost and, as a ghost, annoy its phantom killer for an even longer time period than if left alive. A ghost would be much better off being annoyed by a living entity for the comparably short period of time of that person’s lifespan rather then to kill that individual and, by doing so, inducing that person to seek retribution in the afterlife. "

So... there goes my fear of ghosts! Thought I'd share this to help others deal with their fear of ghosts!
