Trends
I remember reading an article in the newspapers a long time ago. It was about whether people are really adapting to the fast-paced changes in life or are they forcing themselves to fit into the world we are in now. Personally, I’m a more traditional person. I can’t really accept a lot of new things. This brings me to something I wanna talk about.
My friend(JW) and I were talking about an old friend(XD). He was asking me the reason my old friend broke up with his GF(J) a few years back. I explained to him that J had found someone she liked in her poly and therefore broke up with XD. I feel that falling in love with another person when you are already in a relationship is acceptable. Because, humans have emotions. You cannot simply tell your heart not to like someone when it does. But knowing that if you are already in a relationship, you ought to have some basic responsibilities. J shouldn’t go out with the guy she could probably develop deeper feelings with.
JW was telling me it’s normal for teenagers to do that. Happens all the time. Yeah, I do agree it’s normal. But normal doesn’t mean that it’s right. Normal doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. I like to give exaggerated examples to highlight the point. Picture this: A very peaceful town. Due to a change in events, murder is so common it becomes normal to read articles of murder everyday. Now… it’s normal right? Acceptable?
The normal things in the world we live in today…. Girls smoking. Normal. Unplanned pregnancy BEFORE marriage. Normal. Increasing divorces, disrespect to elders, kids havin HPs better than mine(freak~). Normal stuffs. Acceptable? Not to me at least.
Ps: this post was not created to piss u, JW. :D
Just thoughts of mine
