Those are not mutually exclusive.
Matter of fact, they are pretty much the same thing.

If you have not failed many times in your life then you have not lived a very meaningful life.

Other women on their 2nd or 3rd marriages convincing you that there are better options out there




Know a woman like this, shes attractive for her age, but she dates like shes 22, not in her 40s. So of course shes a serial dater and just broke off an engagement.

The people who pushed the concept that you marry for love




Nobody that gets divorced married for love. When people say "love" they mean emotions. Emotional marriages are what you speak of. Love isnt an emotion, it's something you have to choose everyday.

The concept of Marriage was a child of religion

Animals/humans are not biologically engineered to be with one person their entire life. Basically trying to put a square peg in a round hole.



An argument that equates humans to animals is just dumb. These same animals you compare humans to will also eat their own children. Animals do lots of crazy shite humans dont do, its selection bias to focus only on one thing.


quote:

As the general society gradually evolves and advances and gets smarter and less religious as a whole, it makes sense that divorces would be higher, people will get married less, and those that do get married will get married at an older age level






Yes, good luck with your non-religious utopia.


Where all morality is relative, and the right thing to do at any given time is based primarily on what you may feel like that day.

Hmmmm....

Well... I reckon that means the two Lion Air pilots jumped the line to the expressway for spiritual advancement then, eh?

Exactly. All this nonsense about "no such thing as failing" is some new-to-me-chit. Yall come sit down and let me tell you about fricking up and then failing because of it. It's what has made me who I am today- I'm me not just because of my successes but also the failures.

Hard times teach us the essentials.

And I think your example coupled with mine warrants a time for us to pause and recollect on the 2 kinds of failure: Regular failure, and epic failure.

Failing is assured if you're trying, and regardless, it's universal; because one day we're all gonna frick up one "uh-oh" times too many.

Scientifically speaking, humans are indeed animals. Humans have unique traits regarding morality and language, and absolutely have differences from other animals, but biologically humans are a type of animal known as a mammal.

If you believe otherwise, you are simply wrong. And no disrespect meant to the rest of your post, but if you think humans aren’t animals then it really doesn’t matter what else you say because you are basing your views from an inaccurate and incorrect foundation.

There are no moral absolutes if we are animals doing animal things.

A lion does not murder a zebra, he just eats it. Under the same premise, Jeffrey Dahmer does not murder dudes, he just eats them. And even then, who's to say it's even murder or feeding? Things go haywire in a hurry.

*And isn't that church where they worship robots exploding in size and popularity?*

**If so, then so much for the theory of humans getting smarter and more advanced and doing less worshipping and idolizing of gods.**

Oh boy, ain’t this the truth! My ex filed after years of regularly emphasizing “til death do us part”. When shite got difficult she cut and ran. I went to counseling and got back to church. Counselor suggested a book about making the choice to love after the rainbow and unicorn phase wore off. I wanted to get the train back on the track, she quit. I blame her her parents for raising an unaccountable brat, something I should have recognized before tying the knot.
