Anyway, managed to catch Cinderalla Man over the weekend. Wow…it’s a great show! Very inspiring. Being an emotional rollercoaster myself, there were a couple of scenes where I thought my tears were dwelling up, but heehee…I didn’t let my tear duct do the talking. I curbed that thought and survived the entire show tearless!!!!(yay!!! It’s an achievement ok? =p)
It’s actually been awhile since I’ve caught movies which made me all emotional and teary, I think the last one was…..err….hmm…I cant’ even remember THAT last show. *grin*
Anywayz, I was really impressed by men of that era. It’s like...wow!! Where do u still find men like that nowadays? Not that I’m trying to be a wet blanket and subject all men to prejudice, but it’s just so hard to find a man who is so devoted to his entire family now. ( except my daddy of course! =D )
Maybe it’s because times have changed and that education played a big role in structuring new mindsets. People no longer treat responsibilities with such strong vigor anymore. It’s almost as if wanting to be responsible and actually being responsible is a whole new different thing.
Take a simple example, Boy impregnants girl, girl wants to get married, boy feels he should marry her but he decides that there are too many issues that somehow leads him to believe that dumping girl is the best option. So in the end, boy dumps girl and girl being dumped and all decides to abort the child.
So tell me, in this scenario, whose responsibility was it to decide if the child deserve to live ornot. And when both party decided that responsibility was too great a sacrifice for them to act on, a child’s life was deprived. But who was ultimately responsible? Was it the boy? Or was it the girl?
I’d tell u that in the olden days, people would definitely point a finger at the boy and demand he marry her and everything else is just hushed down and forgotten. But now, in this civilized society, with better and more education, it is ironically the opposite. With the man vs women equality idea, men don’t think they are responsible for all their actions anymore. They think women should play a part and “share” this responsibility, resulting in a clash of responsibilities. So if both sides feels that responsibility is subjective, an innocent child’s life is sacrificed. How humane does this make us now in the society we live in? Should we ever be ashamed of ourselves and reflect on our humanity?
The problem now is that we view responsibility as a choice, a choice to be responsible or to wanting to be responsible.
In the olden days, responsibility was never a choice. It was a men’s duty to be responsible.
Perhaps in some ways, equality isn’t the best way to work things out? You decide….
