Part Sixteen

While believing that persons have a right to self determination (in the sense of the idea we can’t actually have full self determination as a reality in the world we have created), and fully supporting the idea of equality (again within the same parameters), I sometimes wonder what makes humans desire things others want … and call it equality.

Take same sex marriages for example. My first thought is to think… so what. Marry whom you want, why should I care (because quite frankly I have more pressing issues of human thought to think about than the mundane preoccupation so many people seem to have with the idea of two people of the same gender desiring to be married), but then when I actually THINK about the idea of it I start to think…

When marriage has already outlived its original purpose, and become a joke (again, respect to those that desire it), it’s funny to see people now fighting for the right to same-sex marriage.

Do those who rally around this outdated concept of our species really understand what the purposes of marriage was for in the first place, the ideas that originated behind it and the forms of repression and society creating it as a norm (through religious dogma and the like) for these reasons that its origins are based on?

That is the REAL equality of us ALL
