Unsuccessful Self-Centered marriages... but why???
While listening to the two guys I'm riding the Rescue with today sarcastically strip down there failed marriages into depressing cliches, I had an interesting epiphany....We, both parties, enter a marriage with self centered expectations and desires, then five, ten, twenty years go by, and we're both living and formulating our decisions based on similar selfish ambitions, and we're disappointed that our "partners" aren't loving or simply treating us the way we feel they should, so we make yet another selfishly driven decision to divorce so we can regain a self supported, sufficient state of temporary satisfaction again. SAD!

More so than an unsuccessful self-centered failed union, it might be a stepping stone for an even greater fulfilling life experience, when it doesn't work out the first time around. Is it possible to truly appreciate how sweet the blossom from an orange tree smells without the contrasting odor from a rotting fallen orange. Both produced from the same tree, but totally opposite scents. Which is more real? Both serving a purpose. And because the rotting orange was acrid, should one shy away from everything else the tree has to offer?
Sometimes, the original thought may be more a failed attempt at an ambitious undertaking with a hopeful outlook. There's no crime in trying to create something good and hoping for the best. The crime may be the lack of conviction by both parties.
Thomas Edison, when asked by a reporter if he was upset that it took him so much time and so many attempts to create the light bulb responded, "it wasn't wasted time, now I know 2,000 different ways how not to make a light bulb."
