Some people have commented that I’m too strict when it comes to love.
Let me give you an analogy.
Given that you have a limited amount of money, you would want to purchase the best car possible. Let’s say you love BMW. You trust BMW. You know that it’s reliable, and it’s gonna bring you to places safely. You have high standards. You know the price you pay is going to have huge returns. You save up and buy the BMW.
Ok let’s say you’re willing to settle for something else. Maybe to you, the function it performs matter more. It brings you from point A to B, and you just want a no frills experience. Then perhaps Toyota would be a good choice. But you get what you pay. Perhaps in a freak accident, the Toyota protects you less than a BMW can. Your standards determine your choice.
This isn’t the perfect analogy because in the imperfect world, not everyone can and will be able to afford a luxury car in their lifetime. Although the case might be so, my point here is that I believe my high standards will gather good returns. I don’t want to compromise on getting a sub-standard car just because I want to drive.
What’s more – Marriage isn’t a car. It’s not gonna be a smooth ride.
