Cheating – The act of consciously engaging in prohibited emotional, physical, social and other types of prohibited acts, with a person who is not your romantic partner.
Buff – Visually pleasing.
Wavy – Nice, cool, good etc.
Distins – A locution.
The cherry on the top is habitually referred to as the significant amazeballs auxiliary, that assembles distinctive bodies and melds them into one. Altering this viewpoint, I will be exploring the negative effects of putting trivial matters on pedestals.
Latterly, I was travelling to a specific location, going on one of my frequent long bus journey escapades. Enjoying the lengthiness of my beautiful peregrination. As I ravished my ceaseless locomotion surroundings through the lens of the window, an utterance urged me out of my state of serenity, and plunged me into a plight of perplexity. It was the utterance of a young female sitting across from me on the bus, that hurled me into a state of bewilderedness. ‘She’s sooo buff though! How could he cheat on her?!!’ the young female shouted in shock. Her facial expressions revealing her desperation for answers. Answers from the young female she was with, who I perceived to be just as clueless as she was. At first I shrugged off her utterances as merely harmless. However, as I proceeded with my journey, and in the following days to come, I simply could not dismiss the words she uttered. After thoroughly delving into my thought process, at a closer inspection, the depth of those utterances revealed a deeper underlining issue. Solely touching on the surface served as no good.
Society habitually pairs good looks with the denouncement of cheating. Utterances such as, ‘But they are so buff! How could anyone in their right mind cheat on them?!’, are phrases I am frequently exposed to. How conceited distasteful and sad, for a distinct category of people to impetuously declare that what determines an individual to be cheated on, simply comprises of how visually pleasing they are perceived to be. What a society. This shallow minded nature of placing physical attraction on a pedestal, to the extent where it beclouds your sense of reasoning, is a notion I strongly oppose and reject. Am I an indigene of lala land? No. No I am not. Consequently, I steer clear of self deception. Physical attraction has its own level of importance baby. Baby?.. Did I just say.. baby?.. I digress. Yes, physical attraction has a subjective level of importance. However, situating subjacent essentials above primary essentials is surely a set up for breakable foundations. Or am I simply delving and indulging in the conceptualisation of exaggeration?
I accept that some people may beg to differ, but I still stand by my belief. I stand by the importance of platonic, romantic and any type of relationship, being able to exist outside of the physicality of the parties involved. I mean, in regards to romantic relationships, what happened to invaluable compatibility? What happened to genuine unyielding foundations, which flourish into beautiful healthy relationships? What happened to mental rigid bonds that are void of temporary lusts and unstable fleeting emotions? The type of mental intertwined fluidity, that rigidly yet effortlessly utters, ‘Yes your physical appearance is the cherry on the top. But you see that mind of yours? That is the whole cake. The whole cake I will never trade for another visually pleasing, but tasteless cherry’. This, is what you call, wavy distins.
