The RING
When you have lived a quarter of a century, either you get married, or a lot of your friends are getting married. Sort of feihua right ... well, the law of large numbers dictate that there surely must be some pple who would have been a divorcee by 25. But that's not the point.There are so many ads these days selling rings. Which ever manner they decide to market it, you will never get the idea that it is 'value-for-money', 'affordable' or 'for-the-masses'. Just like the way car manufacturers have you believe that driving their make means you have 'arrived' and 'made it', I get the vibes that jewelery makers want to think that you will only have enough love if you propose with their rings.
So, your love for your girl, should be
- as pure as the clearest of diamonds,
born out of and passed the test of fire
as literal as the name of make, e.g Troo Love, Destinnii .. etc
expressed as a price of the ring ("Surely I am worthed more than that, right?")
So would the girl not marry you without Troo Love, or you are not the one in her Destinni? Surely no girls will admit that they are so shallow to be bought over by a small rock on a ring. But they will sulk or complain when they have to agree to anything else less. Then they will start ranting that they can't tell their grandchildren that grandpa gave her a super-duper large diamond for their wedding.
Girls, if you really love your man, you would even agree to marry him with a coke tab ring, a key ring, a telephone ring, any ring. Do you have to measure his love for you with money? Then it just means that you are only worth your vanity for a piece of rock, that is extracted for you to fund crimes against humanities. Looks like ultimately, you still need some amount of money to change your mind. So much for the male-bashing and branding them shallow.
Well we should change the world, starting with the man in the mirror.
I would not get married when I am 25 years old.
