Polygamy – The condition or practice of having more than one spouse at one time.
Do you believe in polygamy? Most people would answer to me straight up claiming a solid no. I wonder tho, if society and moral values are being put behind us, would we still think that polygamy is not an acceptable, working, and healthy condition of relationships?
Why do we believe in monogamy? Is it because we truly believe in soulmate and that we are pre-determined to be with that single person for life? No. In this 21st century, divorce rates are climbing sky-high in every modern country. Then is it because we feel that we should be responsible for one person and no one else? No. Because the word cheating has been invented for a reason – the practise exists. Or is it because we feel the ought to restrict ourselves because we are human? That I can’t answer because I’m not sure what human ought to do.
In my opinion, as human beings we are by nature curious and this curiosity doesn’t end, period. Even when we are with the dearest one, the one you felt deeply attracted to, you will still be curious about others. You will never stop searching in your mind. But you might not present your actions because we are also by nature lazy. We figure that we should be content with ourselves, thus we stop trying to reach for something else, something perhaps more suitable, better for us.
Perhaps the reason we adapt to monogamy is simply because we’re lazy? If every one of us openly accept new opportunities, what kind of world would we be living in? I pondered about this the whole day. Then it hit me, would I want my other half to have the opportunity to meet others even if I have the same kind of accessibility? No! I forgot that human beings by nature are also selfish. Partner is one thing that we don’t want to share and never will. Jealousy is a built-in function in our brain that is always extremely sensitive. Thus monogamy is the right choice for mankind.. so be it.
I didn’t read past "June 03" Actually I read the title "polygamy" but then convinced myself that if I read any further I might have to do math. Nice try Susan.
The real question to ponder is, "When will the Chinese attack?" There are billions of them, who knows what they are up to in their spare time. Ninja military stealth training? Are you ninja military stealth training Susan? Because if you are… [suspicious look]
I know what my final words will be as I stand beside my wife (Monogamy *haha*) when the Chinese attack.
"Hunny look, the Chinese are attacking again and this time they have flying dragons with proton laser.”
