The truth....
The truth is indeed ugly....
-Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) in The Ugly Truth
The truth in indeed ugly.
At the end of the day,men will always be men;we are genetically hotwired to sow our wild oats to ensure survival of our lineage.The same goes for women since they are programmed to look for qualitites in potential mates that indicate a certain degree in security,whether physical or otherwise.
Put it this way,not even the most liberal SNAG,metrosexual or other whatnots will look upon a lady whose looks totally put them off to be their life partner;or for that matter,nor will the most simpleminded woman agree to a courtship unless the suitor has that teeny weeny bit of potential to better provide for the family than he can right now.
It is just that simple,that superficial.The world is unfair;it is that bleak.I am not attempting to find excuses for such superficiality but I suppose that the sooner this is recognised,the more hurt will be spared....
Game,set and match.Play by the game or drop out.I know damn well which option I have had chosen;there was only one option for me anyway.It is not that bad at all;turtleshelling never was,at least not for me.
我以前没得选折....
我以前没得选折，现在我想做个好人....
-Inspector Lau Kin Ming (played by Andy Lau),Infernal Affairs 1
I was watching the Infernal Affairs series,again I might add.The above captioned phrase somehow just rekindle the indelible mark in my memories like it did the other time.
Fast forward to when I came across my friend's link to a Taiwanese advertisement in Facebook.The female protagonist started by saying rhetorically that we frequently thought about what makes life perfect.She ended by concluding that it is what we felt about the mundane and little things in life that determined if we are living the perfect life that we so desire.
Indeed,life is what ever you make of it;if by accepting my lot in life makes me just that little happier or that less sad,who is to tell me otherwise?Sure,it smacks of self-defeatism but as always,whatever floats your boat....
P.S.-This is the 3rd draft since the previous two drafts' formatting went haywire.
