Today in a forum a few married women talked about their husbands and marriage. They're saying: 'I believe there are at least ten million men in this world, who are right for me, not only my husband.' 'My husband is lucky, because I picked him, but not other million men who also matchs me'. 'Of coz my husband is not the one and only'. 'If we split, I would easily find some one esle who is also suitable for me.' etc.
True, theoretically, it's right, there exists million of men who are good enough and right for you. According to the same theory, for one 'Right Man', there are also million of right-women existing and available in this world for him. That means there are billion right women for these million men who are right for you. The million-right-men pond doesn't only belong to you, but belong to the billion-right-women sea. Vice versa. Nobody sitting there wait you to pick him/her. They also have their large choice possibility.
Apart from that, even if all of the million Right Men wait in their lives for you, how big is the probability that you will meet and encounter them, recognize them(these who are right for you), and go through all of the conflicts and troubles and stay togather, which is based on the premise that these right men think you're right for them too. If thinking of this way, your probability of meeting a right person is very small, but not the number of million!
In one word, no matter you're man or woman: If you feel you already met the right one, cherish it! You dropped your other million choices, he did the same too. So do not take yourself too serious, unless you think you're the God.
I like the fact that you recognized how many men in the world you had a
possibility to be with. Many women ignore that when making the statement
THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF GOOD MEN OR ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE MARRIED OR GAY!
More men tend to take dating as a game. Women are looking for a husband.
When women look at dating as a sifting process for finding who is right for
them instead of focusing on their expectations and pre-conceived ideas,
there will be a different outcome for those women.
我记得西方哲学里有个故事:
@The Capt.
I agree, some people just don't know what they want.
这个故事的本意并非说婚姻是第二选择,只是想表达婚姻与爱情在本质上的区别。爱情是个人行为,而婚姻是社会行为。详细以后我会另写一篇文字,有兴趣可以一起讨论
