WHAT IS MARRIAGE?

WHAT IS MARRIAGE? About the couple getting married? or about the parents getting married to the son in law?
It seems that in the EAST side of this world that marriage is still about the parents getting married to the future son in law...

In today's world, match making still exist, but how can a parent introduce their daughter to someone that is under stress and not even good looking. (Not that I am trying to mock those born with ugly face) But if you are a parent, definitely you would want your daughter to marry someone that is good looking and at least can think normally.
Today I found out that the guy that was introduce to me last week, he is under stress as his previous girlfriend was approved by his parents. It was over dinner, I purposely came late for dinner. I had notice that he eat like a small kid. His plate is so messy and left rice all over his plate. I am learning to be a Buddhist, so we are thought that every grain of rice is precious. We should not waste it, as there are many other kids in other countries that has nothing to eat.

I only hope that my parents could be sober and grateful that their daughter has already chosen her life partner that is best for her, though may not be the perfect criteria for her parents.

Thank you God for the great day today  :)

XOXOXO
