Choices: Parents or Spouse

"one has to make choices during different junctures in their life:
simple choices, tough choices and impossible choices."

since young, i often heard this question: your mum/dad and your wife both felled into a river at the same time, who would u save 1st?

some smart alec would reply with a corny "oh, it depends on who can't swim" or "i would/wouldn't save either" blah blah blah

so wat happened IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE. yes, a serious choice between the two. what would your answer be??

a) your mum/dad
b) your girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband

tough isn't it?
take some time to think about it.

alright, you have your choice already? are you prepared/dare to proclaim your choice to the opposite party, ie, the party not chosen by you??


aha, there you go again. think hard. there's a hidden question inside this original question: that is, who do you love more??

you choose A), you dun love your partners enough.
you choose B), you are branded an unfillial, ungrateful brat.

some incidents lately have led to me thinking about this simple question. ive given it much thought for some time, and i conclude that:

1. there is no basis for comparison here.
2. we are looking at two very different types of love. 亲情 and 爱情
3. the 2 solutions are mutually exclusive, choosing a) doesnt mean your love for a) is higher than b) and vice versa.

noting the words in bold above, if one STILL has to come up with a solution, to the extent dat all in this world has to come up with an answer and failure to do so will lead to an instant death/failure to ejaculate/failure to have orgasm for the remaining of your life,

i would proudly and dare to proclaim to all in this world, that my choice will be A) my parents. i seldom disclose this except to my close friends, but here i am, telling all what constitutes to my choice.

my parents aren't on good terms. they have not been talking to each other since im in primary school.
also, i used to have an elder brother, yes, USED TO. but he passed away in an accident when im 18. his death really made me grew up, i learnt to be more responsible, mature thinking etc. his death oso made me closer to my parents. i oso start to understand the importance of family and what filial piety means.
As the only child, i see it as my responsiblity to care and to provide for my mum and dad till the day they/me no longer breathe.

i hope my reasoning is clear enough.

having said that, i must emphasize that this choice DOES NOT MEAN THAT I DUN LOVE MY DEAR ENOUGH OR AS MUCH. its my responsibility to care and to provide for her too!All those who doubted wat i said and jump to conclusions dat my answer impliues that i dun love my dear enough, please.....come up with logic reasonings or concrete proof that suggests so.

to ALL those who chose b) your girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband, as your answer, i believe there's certain reasons that constitutes that.........

however, please think real hard before u commit to this answer, and i say again: do you dare to proclaim this statement to all???


a very lengthy post indeed

a pandora box waiting to be opened
a question that shouldn't be poised
a question that shouldn't be answered
an importance that shouldn't be ranked

filial piety isnt a crime, isnt it??

im tired, very very tired

both physically and mentally.
