Marriage Institution

Hardly an institution creates as much fuss as the marriage institution does.

Teenagers despise it, single adults fear it, married persons criticize it. Nevertheless, we all march irrevocably towards it. However critical we were, however fearing of commitment we are, the vast majority of people take the step and sign that paper, take that oath.
A genetic programming? a deeply rooted social conditioning? A curse? A human fate?

What is it that makes marriage such a powerful, surviving institution?

Jahida Wehbe sings Günter Grass - Don't look back

Glitter in the Air

L'amore

L'amore e qualcosa di libero e inaspettato

E como il vento...

Lhasa de Dela Sings Fairuz

Hemleya

I bought a land on a hill

It oversees a gaz station, it oversees a mill

The view is breathtaking,

The sea, the mountains, a heaven in making 

On the land plot, I am building a house

Modern interior, stylish setting

The tenants will enjoy the spectacular view

The doors, the windows, are entirely see-through

The tenants will roam the house seamlessly

They are ghosts, they can move easily

The ghosts come from my past,

When the house was intended to be my home 

Now, I could hardly be a guest

My Fairuz
