Is It Thus Fated?
What to do with all the lonely people in the world? Those people who have not had the good fortune to find someone with whom to live out their lives. The young, men and women alike for whom the opportunity to find their gendered counterpart has simply not occurred. What could be sadder than the prospect of having no one with whom to confide your thoughts, to share your happy moments, someone with whom to aspire to achieve a full and true partnership of life's experiences?
There exists so many unattached young and not-so-young men and women for whom the search continues. And the more time that fleets by, it seems the fewer the opportunities arise. Somehow, without a partner to face all the surprises and disappointments, the delights and uncertainties with, makes the prospect of experiencing all the wonderful things that life has to offer somewhat less appealing. Everyone needs someone to hug in happiness shared.
The irony of it is that there exists so many young and not-so-young men and women whose values and personal attributes, whose social orientation and priorities are of questionable value, yet they find companionship. The quality of the companionship can be questioned, but at least the opportunity has been afforded them and the experience, whether of short- or long-standing has been theirs.
The irony of it is that there are so many women for whom motherhood has been a wasted opportunity of bringing up children in a disinterested, half-hearted manner to become adults who exhibit traits similar to that of their parent; potential social misfits. There are men whose anti-social acts of small and large dimension mark them out as the dregs of society, yet somehow these men and these women realize success of some degree in finding partners.
People of real character, determined to live worthwhile lives, recognizing universal values and practising ethical precepts, determined to become a credit to their larger society through their active participation as reliable, credible and responsible members of society in the exercise of their social conscience and commitment to a life well earned, find themselves companionless. And why is that?
A sad trick of fate that those who search for their counterparts cannot find them. That those whose lazy acceptance of life as it plays out without personal commitment to communal values benefiting the entire society simply fall into one relationship after another, thus diminishing the quality of long-term commitment and a selfless love for another, is commonplace.
Why is it that women will gladly accept the attentions of a man who is clearly deadlocked in an adolescent anti-social lifestyle, a typical "bad boy" whose follies may include challenging laws which protect all of society and whose pay-back may include stints of penal incarceration, while blithely ignoring the presence of mature-minded and intelligent men whose actions define commitment and the promise of a stable future?
Conundrums abound when dealing with personalities and the confusions inherent in character development and value systems.
The situation is an ages-old one, where individuals, both male and female, exhibiting sterling characters and values are overlooked in favour of the forbidden, the unknown, the enticing excitement of dancing in lock-step with uncertainty.
If only it could be as simple as isolating and identifying those individuals whose personalities and orientations clearly are designed for one another. To reduce the complexity of human nature and the yearning for companionship to a simple search-and-rescue technique.
Sad beyond belief is what the presence of lonely men and women facing a partnerless future represents in the waste of human happiness and satisfaction with life.
