For all you lovers out there
So I have all my best thoughts in the shower. The downfall to this is not being able to remember all these nuggets of gold. Luckily I remembered one revelation I had recently. Our society is being destroyed and improved with technology. Improved obviously because it is making our lives easier and faster… but is this always a good thing? I believe it is both. With everything becoming so fast paced and always changing I think it is making all of our attention spans shorter. And in turn making our commitment shorter. For example in relationships when things get slow or boring people bail, which I believe is contributing to the divorce rate increase. When things get rough people begin to wander (not everyone- but the ones who jump from partner to partner).
In my images of women in literature class we read a couple’s work for valentine’s day and their love they talk about is inspiring. I crave a love like theirs. They are a married couple who put each other above everyone else even their children. (which did cause controversy for AYELET WALDMAN)
Here are the links to the articles

Michael Chabon talks about how his wife is a woman of great power and importance. I loved it because he compared her to a powerful woman he admired and respected.
Ayelet Walman talks about how she loves her husband more than her kids and how it makes her a “bad mother” she doesnt believe that but according to societies standards she is seen that way.
