Contentment vs. Commitment

Life is simple and should not be made complicated. Contentment is the key to happiness. So why stick with the boring way of life you have when in fact, you have the choice to make it far better and different, the option to be happy and satisfied?

            The reason why I quoted this is because I strongly agree in this statement. This statement encapsulates everything that I have ever wanted to say. Contentment is the key to happiness and sometimes commitment gets in the way of contentment. Commitment is such a strong word. It pertains to a forever binding of oneself to another human being, or in some cases it may be for an organization or a company. In the case of divorce, it is a lifelong commitment that has to be sanctified by the sacrament of the Church called matrimony. At first, couples are usually happy and are on a “marriage-high” but soon as time kicks in and it starts to get complicated than it ever was, the couple starts to fights and misunderstandings begin. These misunderstandings are often led to divorce. After having a divorce, there is peace and rest for both parties. Life is simple and should not be made complicated. If the complicated one is the marriage, why not turn to divorce, for it will make things and will make life easier to bear. Every person is entitled to their own opinion and their own belief. In this case, every 
person has every right to divorce.

            The Philippines is a country wherein divorce is often discussed to as immoral or unchristian. But reality hurts, the Philippines actually need a Divorce Bill in order for them to realize that they are free beings and that this country is purely democratic. I believe that divorce can make life much easier because it ends every suffering for every human being. This suffering often leads to further damage in a relationship and is often misleading for the children (if ever there are any). This is a very eye opening experience that a couple who are going through a rough relationship should definitely consider. Divorce is often viewed upon as jeopardizing Christian values. I strongly disagree because the government is simply trying to reach out to those couples that are in a rough marriage and giving them an option whether or not to turn to divorce. The Divorce Bill is pro-choice and it allows people to have a second chance in life. It makes people worthy of living the live they want to live. It makes people stronger as individuals for they have weathered their own storm in life. It makes me sad for a fact that people nowadays are often very close minded towards this issue. They usually reject the fact that this will help other people very much. Some people are very selfish because they would reject something that might benefit other people but will not at all affect them. People should be more open to possibilities and towards change.
