Yes, the problem with common sense is that when it's common, it usually ain't sense... and vice versa. "Go make someone else happy" sounds all well and good, but the way I see it, that's exactly what this poor man (the one married for 25 years who is still hurting from a divorce 8 years later) tried to do for a quarter century and now he's in a world of hurt. So what, let's find the next lucky lady to lavish affection upon? Wash, rinse, repeat? We may be losers, but is it really better to be a sucker? No offense meant, that's just the way I can't help seeing it. The problem as I think is that, by and large, women eventually find the vast majority of men boring, predictable, messy, childish, pathetic, rude, disgusting, overweight and balding. So now that all her married lady friends (the ones who she married for "because everyone else was doing it") are fashionably complaining about their husbands shortcomings, it makes a lot of sense to drop him and crow about that too (why do ya think all those women's mags focus so much on divorce and breakups? Didn't anyone tell ya it's cool to break hearts?) If I sound like a misogynist, then let me say in womens defense that their man probably is boring, predictable, messy, childish, pathetic, rude, disgusting, overweight and balding. Women on the other hand, tend to become whiny, bitchy, back-stabbing, insinuative, sneaky, irresponsible, manipulative and despite "common sense", when the rubber meets the road, surprisingly insensitive and uncaring about whichever circle of hell shes putting her man through. Note that I've shamelessly used sweeping stereotypes here, they only apply to 99% of the human population.
One thing I do agree on is that there is more to the world than just yourself. A lot more. That's part of the problem. Theres so much to this world other than our brief rat race that human happiness and functional relationships/families barely register in the great scheme of important things. Don't believe me? Pick up a history book. Then a biology book. Scream a little and then get drunk. So, basically do whatever the hell you want. If making other ppl happy makes you happy, good luck to you. If you want to go get your cheap blowjobs, that's peachy too. Want to have 10 kids and live till 100, sounds nice. Want to die young singing "I don't care what they say, I won't live in a world without love!", go to it monkeyman. It really won't matter to anyone who'll last long enough to matter.
Vale of tears indeed.
