in the past, there are relationships that are deemed to be fixed, undeniable and cannot be changed. they are kinship, family ties, and to a large extent i think, marriage. people of the past accept these relationships as fixed and play their role as a son, daughter, as a brother, sister, as a husband and wife. and they play it dutifully, fillial-ly and no questions asked.

in our current society, are there fixed relationships anymore? true, maybe the kinship, blood ties, family ties are pretty fixed. cos u cannot run away from it. the blood type is there. but still, there are stories people sevvering ties with their family, people don't acknowledge their own parents, brothers or sisters. if something that has similar blood type can change, what happens to marriage. is that why divorces are so so so common, and i cannot emphasise anymore how common it is. is there no more fixed relationships in societies?

and if kinship, marriage dun last especially one with blood ties, the other with certificate of marriage, how is friendship going to last? and when a r/s changes, who's to blame? are we conforming to the society by changing or is fixed relationships that hard to build nowadays.

sometimes i feel that cos alot of people are not bounded by rules or by anything at all anymore. i mean kinship, ur parents raise u up, by right, out of fillial piety, u SHOULd and must take care of them but is everyone thinking liek this now? like marriage, u are bounded by vows. but so many people out there dun value the true meanign of vows. that makes friendship worse, we dun cut our fingers and drip blood in a bowl to signify long lasting friendship nowdays, loyalty, trust is thrown out of the window here and there already.

true, i'm being pessimistic, but who dares to sae, we're living in a love filled society which will definitely grow to become better. i'm not even tt selfless myself. what about others out there?

i just find it so sad to sae bye to long term relationships. how do u bring urself to say bye. it brings so much tears and misery. i'm getting skeptical, i know i am
