For my parents' generation, the idea
was not that marriage was about some kind of idealized, romantic love; it was a
partnership. It's about creating family; it's about creating offspring. Indian

where you do what's best for the community – you procreate.

big downfall.

"It is indispensable to date at least
three women at a time. First, if you have a girlfriend, she wants to get
married; I say to them: 'girl, I can only make you a widow. Stop that
bullshit'. Some do not want to get married, because of the sense of having to
stay with the man. I think, after ten years, the marriage gets kind of
incestuous. The woman, you like her, have affection, but for love, another is
better. I think, in my weak way of understanding. I married a few times, but I
learned that it's important to have three. Not only because the variation is
interesting, but you get even more affectionate, you love variation and there
is no danger of getting married. "

Then
there was no more talk of this subject between myself and Augusta because
marriage is much simpler than engagement. Once married, love is no longer
discussed, and when one feels the need to speak of it, animality soon
intervenes to re-establish silence. Sometimes this animality becomes so human
that it complicates and falsifies things, occurring when, when leaning on a
feminine hair, the effort is made to evoke a light that does not exist in her.
They close their eyes and the woman turns into another, so that, after love has
passed, she can become
her
again. To her we dedicate our gratitude, which is even greater if the effort
has been successful. "

"Death,
often (if not all), ends with suffering; the wedding gives you a start. Death
is death and is over; Marriage is more cruel: it's like an illness. Hence the
expression "contracting marriage". Being married is a condition that
contracts, like a virus. The fact that the Penal Code of some countries
provides for the death penalty but not the condemnation of marriage has
intrigued married people of various times and places. I believe that the
celibacy of priests is intended to make the institution of marriage endure: if
the priests knew what marriage was, then men of God would not have the courage
to inflict the same punishment on another human being. "
