I don't know how many of you have listened to The Phantom of the Opera, Past the Point of no Return, I know the story was based on a very old fashion mentality... Not that woman have ever really belonged to men but they have at some point you can say... (or visa versa in a sense)
We have the issue on women giving themselves to men (being deflowered) as a sign on their love. Hence she belonged to him in return and her love would be forever his...
We also have those instances where woman or girls use to get pregnant to basically trap the man (which was a stupid idea to begin with) that they loved... and well that's what they use to call a "shot gun wedding" where presumably her father would carry a shot gun to make sure Mister (I deflowered the princess and got her pregnant) wouldn't escape...
And well there was/is the vow of Marriage... a sacred act in many religions and a contract by law...to stay together forever! But, nowadays with the whole Divorce being at an all time high, and many single mothers making a life for themselves...
Are we to assume "Past the Point of no Return" no longer exist in relationships? Is no one willing to put the effort to really get to know the person correctly or stick it through the 'thick and thin' through the challenges you're to face... Everybody gives up to easily... a challenge appears and some "run and hide" instead of the "we'll work on it together as a couple" the way it should be done...
Do you believe "Past the Point of No Return" exists (maybe in your life) or it just never fit the characteristics of people?
Frankly, in my life I believe it does(could) exist and I'm willing to let it play out in that way. Once I feel I've gonepast the point of no return, I will not look back but look forward to what's next... But, I'm a little more old fashion... What does society think? What's in this New AGE?
