So today's topic here at work has been a ton of fun. Are we supposed to spend the majority of our lives with just one person? And the secondary topic that came out of it is are we capable of loving more than one person equally?
I'll go first. I don't think we're supposed to spend "forever" with just one person. We're social animals by nature. I think it's been social constructed to have the one "love of my life." I just don't see one person as being enough to forever hold that attention. My parents have been happily married for something like 36 years. I know it's completely possible to spend "forever" with just one person. But does that mean you can't love someone else also? Maybe not as much to start, but over time. I really do think that love is a real feeling. But it's something different to different people. And as a man who wants to be in a monogamous relationship, I know it's possible to forgo all others. But is that because it's what you want to do or what you're supposed to do?
The debate has only just begun, I have the feeling this will last for a while. I know you've got an opinion, share it! That's the whole point. Not every conversation has to be about the weather. Make some of them serious, expand your views and learn about your friends. Do something more important that just gossip. You'll thank me for it later.
