This blog is not intended to analyze and define the strange phenomenon of the growing numbers of men and women who are perceived to be hesitant to assume greater responsibilities of married life. Neither is this an attempt to scientifically dissect the various idiosyncracies of the most-often misunderstood minority in our society- the single men and women. This is, however, a sincere effort to guide fellow singles come to grips of their rightlful place in God's Kingdom as we search for peace, joy, fulfillment, and contentment. But wait....... I won't attempt to preach because apart from lack of experience, I don't have an extensive biblical vocabulary to sustain this site. Living by example has become a by-word and is still, the most moving influence. Some individuals find their greatest fulfillment in marriage; some find it in the solitude of singleness. Too many would want to get married; and yet when they are into it, they wished the freedom they had when they were still single. I guess I am certifying the obvious: whether you're single or married, we need to find our own balance. Contentment is a choice and should be realized, sans the marital status. In my 36 years, I have come across people who have attempted to diagnose and cure my perceived loneliness by introducing me to people that I DON'T want to meet. Too often i get irritated when I get comments like: "what's wrong with you and you're still single?" If i were to share my angst and frustration in today's couple's world, it would have been on how insensitive and callous the society (especially in the Philippines) look on singles. People ask why I work so hard. They rationalize that I don't have a husband to support, no children to send to school, no diapers and milk to buy, and the list can go on. I can only give a sigh and smile. It is for the same premise that I work so hard: because I AM SINGLE. At any event that I get sick, I don't have my husband's income to lean on. Jet planes are supported by twin engines to support it in time of distress. Singles rely on themselves to stay afloat in troubled waters, with divine providence and support of family and friends. To say that singles are cowards of greater responsibilities and of committment is a cliche. This is the second part of my disclaimer. In today's uncertain economic times, not to many are willing to tread on the road less traveled.
