Something About Relationship...

Very often we can see lots of couples on the street, shopping malls, restaurants, and almost everywhere everyday. A relationship, that's the 'invisible string' that hold the two persons together, which makes them a couple. Boyfriends and girlfriends, that's how they called it, special terms used to describe the relationship that exist between them. How funny, with these special terms, they are closer to each other than with other 'normal' friends. Is it really these terms that bring them close? Or is it something else?

Sadly, most of people nowadays see a relationship as a temporary bond, a special condition to make two persons closer, or like a special ticket to be able to get access to the physical body - to touch, to hold, to kiss, and even more. Of course, in this century, there are people who don't need to be in a relationship to get on bed with others, '' it's adults' games'' or '' it's each other's desire and totally no coercion to have one night stand'' , that how they explain that what we perceive 'morally and religious' deviated behavious. It's a free world, as they always use to say. These are the groups of people who see relationship differently. It's what we called 'modern and advanced' among humanity as this century, to play with our bodies and fill our lust, separating from personal feelings.

A relationship is just a more 'close' term to use between a couple, it's not to be 'long-lasting', not to have any dream in it, just a temporary 'filling-in-the-position' thingy, or perhaps just a trial, nothing to be serious about. And these, are the minds of the 21st century people, the people with advanced technology and what they called the 'developed modern people'. For them, to be wanted to be faithful will be considered 'too controlling' or 'too possessive', it's a free world after all. As long as when the two persons are together having good time, that's the important part, the other time you can even go for another date. The only commitment is when two persons are together, and no commitment when two are not together. Only people like me who see relationship seriously, one to one commitment all the time, are really totally out of date, totally nerdy, totally stupid.

At least for narrow-minded people like me, a relationship is a commitment, a promise made to each other. It can be a trial, but a trial with real feelings, with hopes and dreams, not just the ''raging hormones''. It's a process to learn, to accept, to forgive, to take care, to know more, and of course, to love. Nothing is to play-play in a relationship, as to respect each other, and of course, this beautiful promise in a lifetime...
