2 murders, right here in Singapore.
Killed by their own spouses, the very ones who were supposed to care, protect, love, cherish.
Seems like the only parts of their marriage vows they remembered were the "till death do us part" bits huh?
Grrrrr... It's just not right!
Look, don't "they" see that almost everyone has got a wrong perception of marriage?
Don't "they" care that "they" are perpetrating it?
Don't we know that "they" refers to each one of us?
Stop sending the message that affairs, immorality and selfish pusuit of "happiness, prosperity and progress" are fine!
But i'll never get my voice heard!
It's drowned in the anthem of "personal choice", "subjective morality", "progress, change and a liberal society."
They say, "that's your opinion on relationship. the world has moved on. you can have your opinions, but you can't impose your views on others."
"Move with the times! We need the pink dollar!! We can't afford to be be left behind! Economy is king!"
so conveniently, affairs and "alternative lifestyles" are glamourised.
committment and faithfulness are trivialised.
You think it's fair this way, coz we both get to keep our views.
But it doesn't work that way!
Coz YOUR views are too attractive to the flesh!
You offer Coke or Herbal Tea to a Wise Sage, he might take the herbal tea.
You offer Coke or Herbal Tea to a kid?
Our kids don't stand a chance at all!
They don't see it demonstrated to them. They never get to learn it.
They never GET a choice, coz their minds were shaped before they even KNEW they have a choice!
Kids who grow up with such a world view have such a slim chance of enjoying a meaningful, monogamous marriage!
Kids who grow up with such a world view have no notion of lifetime committment!
Kids who grow up with such a world view think that everything's game in their pursuit of happiness.
It's just not right!
Can we do something about this already?
If not, such cases will just become more common.
Can we not learn to give up our "rights" to loose living, our "rights" to pursue our own convenience, our "rights" to maximise our pleasures,
for the sake of Righteousness, Love for Others, and Holiness?
