HUMANITY

Dear Readers,

I shall be talking about 2 things today, maybe 3 if i am haunted enough. I went to a play last night and was grateful I went. I am also looking through some youtube videos, and I shall not try to describe what they are about but they are good understandings about HUMANITY.

The play I went to walk was When We Are Married. It made me think about marriage in a different light. There are 3 couples who were married on the same day, in the same church, by the same minister and they are celebrating their 25th anniversary. Marie and Joe are married, Herbert and Clara are married and Albert and Annie are married. Marie and Joe are a happy couple and work alongside each other very well and have niece who they invited over for the celebration. Clara is a dominant wife and controls Herbert from what he says to what he does. Albert is a commissioner and is very domineering and treats Annie in the same way.

They found out that they might not be married after all because the minister who had married them was not an authorized minister as yet. Then information came that one of the men used to go to another city and while being drunk would tell a lady that if he wasnt married that he would be with her. That man happened to have been Joe and Marie was wondering if he really loved her. Thus being hesitant to remarry. When finding out about this misfortune Herbert started to laugh because that proved that he didnt have to take the abuse from his wife anymore and was thinking twice about remarrying Clara. When Annie found out she was laughing as well because that meant she could go and do what she wanted and not be tied down to anyone.

During all the back and forth banter, Clara had slapped Herbert and he said that he had sworn never to raise his hand at a women,...... unless she has driven him to do it and he slapped her. He then told her that he was tired of her shouting and everything and it would be best that she would sit down and shut up. She began talking and he shouted telling her to SIT DOWN and SHUT UP!!! she then sat and didnt bother to talk. Then a short while after Alfred and Annie were talking and she told him that she isnt sure that she wants to get married to him because he was stingy and boring & dull. He found that offensive and during the rest of the play he asked different persons if he was stingy and dull. Marie then asked Joe in front of the other 2 couples if he loved her and he said yes and she was satisfied with that.

This play had driven me to ask my own mother "If it happened that you and dad weren't officially married would you remarry him at the snap of a finger or would you think twice about it?" And as soon as she read it she had put at the snap of a finger. That had melted my heart in so many ways. So that proves that love is very deep and it should not be messed with.

This Video is Stayceyann Chin and she brings out some good points about what people expect. Where it can either be one or another while there is soo many middle grounds that it could be.


This Video is about how humanity does things out of fear,greed, or any other feeling that would coerce you to do something that could be good or evil. Enjoy
