Hello again, for sometime now, I haven’t been able to put pen to paper due partly to having been damn busy in the last 2 weeks.
Second reason being that Marc never seem to like my write-ups. No praise, only how bad I write, and that’s tough especially when from someone dear to you. Its cool; but it helps me get better (for him though).
Well, for the above two reasons, I have been really weak to write, if only Marc will praise me for once… heheheeee.
Anyway, it’s within me and I can’t suppress it. So today, I just want to put down some opinions I have about things I read/heard recently.
First thing that gave me concern is the issue of SELF. I came to this conclusion after I read in a newspaper how the German government is worried about their depleting population. The report is that only about two-third or less of parent-age Germans are having babies. The report went on to say how that most of the present generation do not want to submit themselves to marriage or partnership or family life. It says also that ladies are the most guilty because majority of the professional ladies won’t have anything to do with family life as they seem to pursue their career and think marriage as submitting to a husband or …bla bla bla. Trust journalists, the write sited of course the new German Chancellor Angela Merkel who he said has no offspring and it now falls on her desk to persuade people to take up this natural hobby (?) to stop the extinction of Germans through more caring setup from government.
Another problem well blamed is government. It says the German government isn’t encouraging nor helping its citizens who may wish to have family since there are no good family solutions to professionals who would want to reproduce. The irony being that kindergarten education originated from this country 170 years ago.
After reading that, I never gave it a thought till I got on the bus from work 2 days or so later. For the first time in my life, I seem to notice something, and that resonated the issue of wanting to be by themselves issue as accused by the newspaper. Then I agreed that surely, my generation prefer individualism that being tied to another in marriage or whatever.
What I noticed in the bus was (still is) that a good number of young people there had their ears plugged; including yours’ sincerely. A second majority of them were reading something, while another batch was busy with their new hi-tech mobile phone handsets. Wonderful!
The above scenario alerted me on the reality of how much SELF this generation prefers. No one seem to want to be ‘disturbed’ by another. No wonder these days we see more of the word: no-string-sex and the like. Tells how much this generation do not want to commit to even the most delicate cases like sex. Divorce is on the rise. Most prefer to be partners now than being married. And with more wisdom, a good majority of those who get married prefers the court than religious. All these are really touching.
Now, I must accept that I am no good either in helping this case of SELF neither am I helping the issue of reproduction either. On the first, I can say, I either plug my ear with my earphone listening to songs/radio or reading one book or another the moment I leave my computer. On the second issue, even though I like children so much, I am very much convinced the chances that I will have one of my own is about 1 in a thousand. But then, that being my nature, I think that those whose nature is otherwise should do what they should. I am not afraid of being tied to someone; No, but motivation can come from respect and help of one another for those who tie knots especially among opposite sexes since females fear being subjects.
Another suggestion will be for governments to let gay couples adopt and take care of kids. This is due to the fear that many have in bringing up children which makes them better don’t, even though they will like to. Since everyone is not made to have children, there are those blessed with the egg and there are those blessed with the skill to nurse them while others are blessed with the wonderful heart to bring kids up and so on and forth.
All the same, people should be let to live their life the way they are. I don’t think God is complaining. Being God and manufacturer of humans. He can replace it if they ever go beyond his expectation in number. He is not accountable to any stock exchange or board of directors, so there is no fear of accusation of bad management of capital or assets. The concern is that Germans and their government and such other countries fear that they may be wiped off the face of the earth. That is not the fear, the fear is that the worrying ones will increase doctors’ job with high blood pressure an such other sicknesses.
