Just on my mind

This is interesting in that it unearths other things that thought they were forever burried and insignificant.

I had never even thought about money as being a trait. And I thought that those who did were less righteous. I had quoted the snide and rude comment, "you can buy anything in this world with money." And that movie my older brother watched and rewatched must'be been a favorite, "Can't Buy Me Love" so duh, everyone considers the love of money an evil thing. It would be worse to call someone a money lover than a whore.

Then, and this is the.part I want to comment on, guys always say that women are only interested in Money. I think that is unfair! After seeing the successful marriages vs. Ones that didn't work, most cases, not all, marriages cannot handle the stress and the relationship buckles under the strain of needing, not just wanting, things. When the man enters a marriage partly it is assumed that he will provide for and protect his family. So, I think there are more attributes for a person that deal with his ability to provide than attributes of carachter. But, really, mone is just a more visible, or measureable way to determine someone's "worth".

The last thing that took me a while to comprehend. I have no engagement ring and only have wedding bands after the fact or consideration. My dad used to tell me that it showed someone's devotion, by how hard of a sacrifice they would make for the winning of the affection of the one they loved. I just wanted to toss and "uncomfortable" payments, when actually that would have been just the thing to measure comittment or ability to provide.
