This is the furthest i would go here.

Today, i attended the wedding of an uncle.
Together with the ongoing issue within my own family, i started wondering, just what constitutes a family? Or rather, what constitutes a harmonious and functional family?

Because it feels so far away.

Honestly, it saddens me. In fact, it scares me as well.

What have gone so wrong that we turned out this way?

When one decides to get married, and go through the vows, have they really considered through carefully and have the wedding vows that they said before the altar been drilled into their heads?

Why do people even get married if they do not hold steadfast to their vows and promises to one another? Most of all, how can you even treat the person you married in a horrible way? Didn't you marry this person out of love? How can you even bring yourself to hurt someone you love?

 Its so pretty. Weddings are so pretty. They are sacred too. Why do people go through this whole beautiful life event only to taint it with their selfishness? When two people stand before the altar, they make up one. How can there be more than 2 in the equation? Do these people just fail math or they just have no sense of logic?

How can this happen? How can people just fall out of and in love again just like this? How can a wrong be righted with another wrong? How can one be in the wrong and still remain adamant about righteousness?

Because you lose the right to, regardless of previous wrongs by the other. You lose it right when you broke the vow. And breaking the vow not only translates to a disrespect to the marriage, it also means that you have let down everyone who was led to believe your lies, and people are now given the right to relinquish any respect they have of you through the years and replace it with negative judgment on you.
