Rhythm, "Maybe I am dumb tara the chances are that you made no sense!".....In other words, are you forcing us to conclude that you really are not dumb!? You crack me up....lol...Well, I will give you the benefit of doubt and accept that I made no sense. :) Anyway, I was just trying to challenge the basic notions of marriage. By saying go-here-go-there, all I was saying was diversify your interests. Bring uncertainty. These in turn will bring thrills in our life. Yes, of course, you can marry a nepali girl and then go to Jumla or Humla or wherever you want. If you want to die, then get shot by Maoist. If you do not want to die, find ways to avoid being shot by Maoists. Marrying people of different nationalities will increase diversity and uncertainty, and hence more thrills in life. About this parent thing, I was saying that you do not necessarily have to marry a girl/guy chosen by your parents. I agree most, if not all, parents love their kids, but it does not mean that you will have to marry a partner chosen by them. Show some defiance. Increase uncertainty. Hence, more thrills. After all parents are parents, they will get over it after some time. You do not have to take the burden of keeping the world population at a constant or a growing rate. There are millions of others who can do that. So your ashtraying from the basic notions of marrige will not hamper mankind. In fact, it could help more. Do I want to do this? Ideally, YES. Will I do it.....probably not. But normally, people do not look for uncertainty; instead they want certainty and security. That's why not many people keep on changing their partners, just for the sake of getting more thrills. ---------------
