DATING, RELATIONSHIPS, AND SELF-REFLECTION

Why do humans seek monogamous partnership with another human? Why don’t we all remain single? We could make independent decisions that unselfishly put our own goals and desires first. Single people can completely relocate for work or flirt with the barista. They have freedom.

You may be thinking, “That’s crazy! What about sex, jealousy, companionship, loneliness, cultural norms, etc.?” I mean, sure, but there are alternative ways around all that. Maybe you’re thinking, “Whoever wrote this must’ve been a cheater or cheated on”. Nope. Let me explain where I’m coming from.

Characteristics of responsibility are drilled into students beginning day one, throughout post-secondary, and onward. The following tasks beaten overhead are a good starting point and general guideline, not a golden rule: “Work hard, do your best, meet deadlines, show up on time (which means ten minutes early), don’t slip out early, etc.” This ethic is said to lead to reward.
