You lean towards the perspective of Stoicism. Are you a Stoic?

Stoicism is not a personality, its a trait. I'm stoic, and it is because I understand that by default, life is suffering, it's even the number one rule in Buddhism. So yes, I'm stoic in a sense that I do not chicken out from challenge, but become strong to paddle through it. I understand that everyone is passing through their own demon, and fighting to emerge gloriously out of it.

Which achievement? Marriage is a severe liability as man. Most woman see marriage and relationship as an employment, escape from poverty and stress free.

As for me, I will only marry not because there is any single achievement in marriage but just a necessity.

If marriage is not achievement, what do we call achievement........
Is it going to club with chicks?
Is it having a cars?
Is it acquiring different certificates?
I was forced within to comment because this topic is completely senseless.
People now see material possessions as the most Paramount achievement in life. Don't get me wrong,material possession are good but it cannot take the place of family & love.

Some would set no other goal & do nothing else but look forward to the excitement of being married.

Achievements is in the eyes of the achievers and Its relative since our ambitions in live differs.

you are getting it wrong. u can have a family without marriage. Davido, whizkid, olamide etc are perfect examples. Talking of kids, you can also get that outside marriage, we are in the 21st century now not in an archaic one.


Copy them only if you have the resources they have, if you can't afford those resources and you still copy them, those innocent kids will just be hudlum of tomorrow instead of leaders of tomorrow

Does d views of a few women make marriage any less an achievement? Must u get married to a "woman who sees marriage and relationship as an employment, escape from poverty and stress free"?

Whatever makes you happy is an achievement.
Appreciate it.

Because it's not easy marrying and staying married. Then, having kids and raising them is a major responsibility. Why wouldn't that be an achievement.

Because marriage comes easy to some people. They are lucky/blessed enough to find their other half without putting any effort into it. How is getting married to someone you love an achievement in this case? It's a blessing/luck. Staying married might be tougher but even this comes easy to some people. They get married and live their lives with all the ups and downs life throws at them and stay together because they have been conditioned to think that divorce is not an option. How is it an achievement?

Your metaphor "life is suffering" appears to be truism but the claim is not entirely true. Life is not suffering but more people suffer in life while lesser people do not suffer. Stoicism claims that the good life is a virtuous life not a happy life. This means that a life of hedonism can bring happiness even though it is not the good life. There are people who have never suffered from birth till death and thus have never suffered in life.

The gulf princesses are examples.

Funny thing is in the past priests could marry. The church stopped it about 1000 years ago because all the inheritances priests would get were going to their children and not the church.

I like the fact that you like questioning which is good and no one is the fountain of knowledge as i know nothing as well, just delivering This from My Own perspective

Lets take a look at this from this two angle

1- a married couple with kids but not rich to cater for their family but struggling, do you call the family Achieved? i call them blessed cuz of the kids and if the woman is also a very good woman and mother, that is also a blessing

2- A person with enough money but no kids is achieved.

Marriage and children is great ACHIEVEMENTS to me and my wife . So what can you call an achievement when you say bring a new life to the world is not an achievement? Anything that is positive & good is an achievement to me . Building house,buying cars ,aging (birthdays) ,good education,jobs ,financial breakthrough,talents ,album release ,giving birth ,pregnancy are all achievements
