Engagement rings, how many of you actually care about how much it costs.
Or is it about the thought of him actually getting the band telling you he wants to spend the rest of your life with you. Which is it ( appearance or love?)

Buying engagement rings when proposing to a lady, and wearing it as a sign that you are engaged to someone to be married, is just one of the aspects of society that fucking annoys me.

It's things like this that epitomizes the delusion of the modern man. A delusional person is someone who stares in the face reality, but yet, chooses to lay hold to illusions.

Humans are divided into two genders, for the primary purpose of reproduction. So basically, we were created to have sex with each other and give birth to more of our species.
But over the years, humans have decided to divert from this preprogrammed sexually polygamous nature, and chosen to live in monogamy, that is, having one wife and starting a family and all that culturally condition crap.
I have no issue with this at all. At least this conventional system, helps us live more civilized lives. But what is silly, is when we decide to create all these new rubbish like wedding ceremonies, wedding rings, engagement rings, just for the sake of finding one random human and deciding to reproduce with her. This my friends, is foolishness and delusion of the highest order.

Yes, the 21st century. The best century in terms gigantic strides in the fields of science, and massive advancement in the area of technology, but the worst century in terms of putting our lives in perspective.

I wonder if people actually think these days. And if we think at all, it's society that dictates how and what we think about.

Shame!

What's the difference between a 22carat white gold and a pebble you pick on the sea shore? If you weren't told that one cost fortunes, while the other doesn't cost a thing, would you ascribe such huge amount of value to the 22carat white gold?

Now, if you weren't told that gold has more value than a piece of stone, would you ascribe such value to gold?

Don't get worked up. I am just trying to explain to you, that value is a social construct. A log of fire wood and a small chunk of gold, don't have any objective value that separates them. Value is a subjective quality. But what the leaders and legislates of society do, is that they take a piece of matter that should normally have a subjective value, and then place objective importance on it, and condition everyone to think that it's inherently more valuable that every other form of matter.
Had it been you were born in a parallel universe where such value wasn't placed on gold but on a piece of stone, you'd still be conditioned to think that stone has more value than gold.

So, if someone proposes to you with a 22 carat white gold, and you feel on top of the world, and you take it to show all your friends, and take pictures of it and post on Instagram and Facebook, you are just being delusional. A cosmologically insignificant specie of primates, wallowing in a cesspool of illusions.

Humans have a natural tendency to develop resentment for anything that threatens their pride and false sense of importance. So I am not in any way surprised by your reaction.

The truth indeed is bitter.

Take a break off social media, and read "secular" books. Especially non fiction. It will help change your perspective, and help you grow, intellectually- an area you seem to be a bit malnourished in.
