Default Comedious Commentarious :Father's Day


I wrote this short humorous story , out of a few concerns that haunt me time to time. Here are a few of them: Society view people who aren't in a romantic relation as having a character flail. Society also views unmarried people, and people who don't have children as being irresponsible and immature.
I would not be surprised to see this kind of social judgemental behavior in none christian circles, but I see this going on in the church as well. We have to remember that mirage is a gift from God, and God does not give every one the same gifts. Some people God has given the gift of being single, so they can focus on ministering to God with a single focused heart.
We should judge a person on the merit of their conduct, not on the social station they have in life.
I myself have felt tried of this situation, and have been tempted to brag
about my exploits of my fictitious family, just so people would treat me with more respect.

Two men are in the Break Room of the company they work for,getting their first cup of coffee to start the day. One man tells his coworker that he is excited about celebrating his first father's day as a new Dad. His coworker look at him with a confused look on his face, and says, " I did even know you had a girl friend!
The new proud father blurt out, " Last night , My inflate-a Mate , gave birth to a five pound and 7 ounce bag of party balloons."

Society? You have to steer your own boat without being concerned about how others view your situation. Probably more than half of the people in United States and Great Britain are pill-popping neurotics. Should you let them influence your direction? No way, Jose.

Romantic relationships may be sweet or bitter. Without a doubt, it is much better to have a parakeet to keep you company than some insane mate. Don't rush into relationships. Be patient and the right mate will come along. And don't worry about society. Society has enough of its own problems, Besides, society doesn't pay your bills--you do.

Inflatable babes? That seems old. Haven't the robots burst onto the dating scene yet?

Wow. I'm with Shelly here. Who embedded such a stigma in being single? I'm single, and thankful for it. A toxic relationship is much worse than being alone. This entire piece reads like a conceptual fable. It's a myth. Who needs such an interdependent mentality? Why does society make you want to lie about your social status?

I'm not judging here. I lie. But fabricating stories shows identity-crisis, especially in the confines of relationship status.

Hey. I'm young, single. I hate my past relationships. I don't make up a blow-baby to make friends. There's no social hierarchy if you don't want there to be. It's all mental, bro.

Yet, you say "We should judge based on conduct merit-points". I agree. You are what you do, not who you're with, or seen with. Your identity is your daily practices, your habits, not a random fling to brag about.
