The Pursuit of Authentic Love: Beyond the Contract of Marriage

With the profound words of a true storyteller, Faizan Khan Saifi shares his candid thoughts on the meaning of love and the concept of marriage. His heartfelt expression of longing for a special someone leads us to reflect on the essence of relationships and the aspirations we harbor for true love.

Awaiting True Love

Despite the initial question, 'have you ever been married?' Faizan highlights the depth of his emotions and the ideal image of the person he hopes to marry. He speaks of a love that transcends time and space, a love that he is willing to dedicate his entire life to. His heartfelt sentiments about the person he dreams of meeting include:

Comprehensive love and trust Unconditional support Support in every decision and step of life Hugs, kisses, and passionate love Caring for each other like a parent cares for a child Spending every moment together

These reflections beautifully encapsulate the essence of an authentic relationship, beyond the formalities of marriage.

Questioning the Institution of Marriage

While Faizan's perspective is deeply emotional, the author interjects a moderate view of marriage, acknowledging its practical and spiritual dimensions. However, he questions the value of marriage for individuals who do not seek a practical benefit:

“Marriage is a very shitty contract drawn up by the state. It emanates from crappy religion. There must be very practical reasons to engage in this absurdity. Unless it is for children, for pension continuity, for life insurance, or other practical purposes, I would not suggest it to anyone.”

This critique implies a more pragmatic view of marriage, suggesting that it should serve a specific purpose rather than being a universal institution for all individuals. This perspective invites readers to consider the value of marriage in their lives and whether it aligns with their personal aspirations and values.

The Dilemma of Youth

Despite the practical considerations, Faizan observes a societal pressure to get married:

“Marriage is an absolute communist concept where you take from the one who has and you give to the one who needs. Why would someone who has want to do that? Unless you are young and everyone hates you to the point of telling you lies to get you trapped as it is what life intended.”

This statement reflects a skeptical view of societal pressures and the pressures of growing up. It highlights the age-old dilemma of young individuals navigating their desires and societal expectations. This sentiment resonates with many people who feel trapped in societal norms and pressures.

Conclusion

The journey towards finding true love is a personal one, and the journey of life is filled with both hope and skepticism. Faizan's heartfelt words remind us of the importance of trust, love, and the authenticity of our relationships. Whether one chooses to enter into a marriage or not, the pursuit of genuine love should always remain a priority.

Stay happy, faithful, and loving yourself!
