Dead Romance
by
Michelle Le
When was the last time you’ve been in a relationship without your partner having intentions such as money, sex or using you just as a fling for their ego? What happened to those days when the gentlemen would remove their hats for the ladies or when talking so freely about “sexual intention” was considered sacrilegiously wrong? Unfortunately those carefree days of freedom are no longer in this world.
Everywhere you gaze or look there
are always ill mannered males or uncivilized women
with only corrupt intentions in their minds. This
is what our children are brought up in? We
think our childrens' minds are not mingled with or
filled with immoral thoughts that they are the new
generation but we are so wrong; down to the toy or
cartoon our children watch, all
are filled with
immoral and dissolute intentions.
Advertising, health programs, home improvement
shows are here supposedly to help us, but
everything we watch now always persuade or
are commercializing a product for us to
purchase. Magazines illusions of the perfect woman
always having curvaceous bodies, the most smooth skin
-
how is this helping our life or influencing our
children in the right way? All this does to our life
is lower our self esteem. In the good old days
suicide
was rare and considered blasphemous; now children
are finding that it is the only way out. There is
no one in this world that has not been corrupted
into hating. Hate is now everywhere either against
skin colour, religion, homosexuality or even gender;
there is no longer freedom in this world even
though many claim it. Every single soul on this
world would’ve sinned - there is no repudiating this,
to some people this world is the virtual hell.
Love, forgiveness, trust, peace, harmony and unity
are the forgotten words that made this world stable and
joyful to live in. The way the world is
now, if this continues, humankind will cause the destruction of the world themselves. This is
one philosophy; there are of course still people in
this world with good morals, but not enough. These
people who opinionate their ideals and firm
beliefs get beaten down by the corrupted society
who
believes that power, richness and a good sex life
is the only form of living. The major issue nowadays is sex.
We live in a world where a majority of
men cheat on their partner because they just aren’t
getting enough “loving” or where women sell their
bodies for impious manners.
We see this and think if we just don’t let our
children dress so skimpy this would stop the
inevitable, but it’s an impossibility. Our old
fashioned
ways just are of no use anymore, too much
blasphemous influence. Song lyrics, this new so
called “rap” music every song has curse words or a
form of
sexual intentions. This is considered music nowadays? “Love it when you “thug” me baby.” Teenagers
grow up wanting to be like these so called
idols, singers, actors, actresses that wear a piece
of clothing that covers barely half their bodies. And these people manipulate our
children's' minds?
Romance and the sheer intimacy of being one with that special someone was done only after marriage. however at this time sex is ubiquitous, and those once sacred marriage vows that were never meant to be broken are now constantly forgotten. Abused wives get beaten up by drunken husbands frequently around the world and women using men just for sex or because they’re affluent. This is common? This is considered love?
The phrase “I love you” today is used so many times
it has lost it’s genuine and sincere meanings; the
perfect relationship is no longer a possibility.
Walking along the beach, holding hands, a quiet
dinner at home, these are traditional ways of
spending time with the one you love but the thing
is
love has lost its flare and fire and is supposedly
over rated. The solitary fixation most have is sex.
Society nowadays is morally corrupted, old
fashioned and ethically moral issues are now over
rated and considered just plain uncalled for.
This is society now, this is what the world has
“advanced” to. From the old days when there was no
such thing as electricity and where everyone
was civilized has supposedly “sophisticated” to a
world of technological devices and immoral ways.
This is what the world is progressing to.
