Jeeves' Diary

Let me have a speech.
I always thought that marriage had a double meaning- first, a procedure to legalize sexual relations and to avoid polygamy. I knew also the tricky Freud's approach : it is necessary for limitation our endless libido unless it consumes much of our time and forces, so Eros might turn into Tanatos to destroy us finally. The second, it is a rite that is believed to have a sacred subtext to social life. At least, for many it became usual enough to feel no worries about consequent earthquakes that our family life would bring)

Methinks, ladies and gentlemen, I slightly suppose there a third deeper + totally unconscious factor - like searching a second part of lacking "I"-ness among all the individualities. A sort of kindred spirit, to feel absolutely happy. If marriage is NOT a sacred rite but a relation-concreting legislative procedure for some agnostic couples, why there are so many divorces in the world? And if it IS a sacred act for others, why so many "forcedly happy" couples that keep faking their 'unison' family lives due to only the presumption of sacred inseparability (that masks sometimes career + financial considerations), but children who know this and see this every day, year by year and may have feeling it sharper than their father and mother, one day would eventually come to the view that their parents are artful hypocrites, then kids became frustrated or running away from home. How many we know cases like these? Lot of. So, let me ask you: what you think God want us to be first: honest or obedient? You would ask me what I do think. I do think we should learn to feel each other first…
Yesterday I was surfing internet, then encounter a curious phrase said by Josie Maran - an American ex-model and ever-starlet actress - on Jimmy Kimmel Live 12 August 2004. I would not say that Josie Maran seemed to me too much intelligent ( by her films + interviews +roles she played + topless pics I saw) but these words seemed to me a mind-bender.
She said : 'I don't believe in marriage. I just don't think it's necessary in this day and age. I just think if you need to get married, then you're already distrusting the person. Why do you have to sign something to show your love? You just love, everyday'.
