Jaya's letter..

Seannnnn

I normally love your blog, but I thought that last piece was a bit cynical. Why?

Jaya

Jaya,

I am not a cynical person, and I do value relationships, but I think sometimes people take things SO seriously (as it appears you did). Relationships are friendships with a bonus (no not sex)...commitment. When people take relationships too seriously, the fun and friendly side is often squeezed out of the picture, and if it isn't found, can be lost forever. For a relationship to work, there needs to be friendship. If you can't laugh about things, then it only deteriorates the connection faster.

I wasn't being cynical about commitment or relationships. I wasn't saying that women or men were bad people. I was merely having fun with the idea of an outsider's view of relationships. Lighten up. It may do you some good.
