Hey peeps. In this blog post, we'll be dealing with a big issue that a number of persons encounter at some point in their life. A classmate and I were having a discussion about one of our favourite television shows when this topic came to the forefront. Before I mention to you what it is all about, I will mention the television series that was being discussed...
and I am pretty pretty sure you guys will figure out the issue before I tell you.
Well... here we go. There's this show where the protagonist (a lady that is) is in love with one of the leading characters of the show *Ahem*. Uhhhh...The guy is in love with her too, and everything is all hunky dory except for a tiny weeny factor; he's married.

Another issue is that he holds a very lofty position in society, and although they're madly in love and secretly 'knock boots' quite often, the aforementioned issues are keeping them apart and making them terribly unhappy (more so for the lady). His promises of leaving his wife and resigning from his position never came to fruition and she's left pining away, waiting for her chance to be with him forever.
On the other hand there's this other hot guy who seems to love her; but although they have sex occasionally, it can be clearly seen that she's not in love with him and her heart belongs to Fitz.
Oops...I said it. Yes the show is 'Scandal'!!!!
Here's the question guys and gals; "Should a person learn to love someone they have no intimate feelings for but who loves them, rather than have a relationship where love has happened naturally albeit the other party is not in a capacity to commit??

Let's get this discussion going guys!
Very interesting discussion question hmmmm the way you posed the question had me thinking???? i love scandal but my views on this is that although your love is strong for an individual the fact that they are married draws a line between that love. it may be hard to refrain from that person but in the end you would not be a "home wrecker".. if there is someone out there who really loves you (and not married) try and give them a chance, without thinking about that other person and something may end up working out. as i said it may be tough but it would be worth it..I always say Karma is a b****, if he happens to leave his wife for you, what makes you think he would not leave you for another woman in the future?
ReplyDeleteI think that someone can learn to love someone else. Olivia has to be realistic; Fitz is NEVER going to be able to give her what she wants. He will always have something that comes up. He is the President for Christ's sake! And even after he is President, he will still be held in high esteem by society as such, he will not be able to love Olivia the way she wants him to. But, there is Jake. Jake is dependable. Jake is reliable. Jake is hot. Jake is in LOVE with her. And he does not have to worry about image or being in the public eye. Olivia and Jake will be able to have a happy, stable life together where she can have her privacy and where she won't have to constantly bombarded by the fact that she was once the outside woman. And just as Latifa said, who is to say Fitz won't find another outside woman when he's bored with Olivia? So, why not Jake?
ReplyDeleteI understand what you guys are saying, and the rational part of me is saying yes both of you are correct. But...I love the passion that both Olivia and Fitz have and feel for each other. It's as if they were made for each other.
ReplyDeleteThis show is compromising my morals. Aaaaarggghhh. Thank God it is just a show because in real life situations I would be totally against this type of behaviour. *Whew*
How about avoiding both such situations??
