The Shitty Car

So you've purchased a car.
And the car runs well for a bit.
But after awhile it begins to stutter and stall.
It leaks fluid and randomly emits smoke.
It even ignites one day.
You take the car to the mechanic and he lays down the price.
It's going to cost a lot of money and time.
But you spend the money and time because the car is special to you.
But these fixes are just temporary patch jobs.
The truth about the car is that it's a lemon.
A dud with a hollowed out interior.
You got played.
And so you take it to the junk and try to get as much coin for the scrap metal as possible.

So why do you stay in a relationship that works the same way?

It worries me that some people are having difficulty seperating illusions from reality. It's nobody's fault really. All day we are pumped with the "ideal" life. That is, what's on our television screens, billboards, movies and the list goes on and on.
Check out the documentary series No Logo (google it) for a more in-depth insight into that whole thing.

But it worries me.
Because some people are completly sucked into it. And they are blissfully ignorant. I think a lot of pain and struggle stems from societal expectations.
