Let's say if sentiment and rationality go hand in hand. Then, loving someone is simply doing things out of the real benefit of the other person. The notion of "love is blind" is basically created by someone who confused intimacy with love and care. Viviana Zelizer, a Princeton professor of sociology, said that intimacy has no necessary connection with attention of caring. They only complement each other.

So let's say you have sex with someone, but it doesn't necessarily mean you care about him or her or vice versa. The feeling of care only complements the sex. However, I'm not too sure if sexual drive makes a person irrational, but if you believe in Freud's theory (the whole Id, ego and superego thing), then yeah, it's probably true.

So what am I really trying to say? Blah! I don't know. But I guess marriage is the stupidest combination of physical intimacy, economic arrangement and the obligation of love and care.

So if we're not celebrating the sale of sex (prostitution), why should we celebrate marriage (economic arrangement + legalized prostitution)?

OK, enough philosophy and bull shit…ha, ha. Let me get back to work on my paper.
