We live in a society of smart phones and stupid people. Instant coffee used to be the rage, but it’s nothing compared to Facebook or Twitter. We want our immediate gratification yesterday and complain and go into a deep panic when our cell goes dead.
In this life scheme, the “C” part of the word “commitment” in marriage has become as passé as a land line.
And so, Maria Shriver has decided to pack her bags and leave her 25 year marriage to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Reports are that The Terminator strayed from the marriage bed with the hired help and produced a love child.
It’s as messy as messy can be.
But, that’s exactly what “or worse” is. It’s sloppy, embarrassing, and especially painful.
Is Arnold in the wrong?
Absolutely, no question! He deserves every bit of scorn that comes his way. But, there’s a lot of details we’re not privy to. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
But, although Maria is the recipient of great injury, by leaving the marriage, she breaks her vow to Arnold to stay with her husband in good times and in bad. Both are equally guilty of making a mockery of their marriage vows.
Maria is no better.
