If you had enough money and had promised to buy your newly-wed son or daughter a house, then you heard that the child of a single parent in the poorer part of town would soon die unless s/he had costly surgery; assuming there is no other way the mother can pay for the surgery, would you break your promise to your own child to save another?

The meaning of marriage in Western culture refers to a life-long monogamous commitment. The decision to get married, therefore, entails that the individual denies his future self the possibility of re-evaluating its commitment.

If the individual is aware of the strenuous demands of marriage, and cannot live up to them, he ought not get married. However, if he chooses to get married, a later desire to get divorced is, in effect, invalidated by the meaning of the commitment which he made.

Thus, to get divorced demonstrates a cognitive failing - a failure to understand the meaning of marriage. Whether it is immoral, however, to break a promise which is fundamentally imprudent and irrational is less clear.

When you talk to people philosophically do you find that most of the time the people you are in conversation with look at you like you are a mental case for giving an educated opinion rather then a smart remark?

do we really got the abililty to choose what happens to us? many times i find myself in positions i had no choice in them, it made me think that i am a passive creature who has no control over her path, i mean that my life are nothing but an already written book, and the only thing im really doing is reading what's already written for me, i dont choose my path or create my destiny, i only discover it, afterall, the most imp decidions on my life was mostly controlled by external factors that i couldn't choose, now i beleive that we only have a choice only in whether u'll have a choclate or strawberry icecream, but when it comes to imp things, we have no choice at all? what do u think?
