On The Train

I was thinking about how some people can let go so easily. A relationship breaks up and suddenly a girl has a new boyfriend. I mean, it's not as if I'm a part of it, but it really does seem awfully shallow. Kinda like tossing out tissue paper. I don't think I can ever understand how people can profess to want a long term relationship and suddenly cut it off as if it were a one night stand.

I heard something disturbing on the train. A woman was talking about how one of her ex's had just graduated and wasn't actively seeking a job. He was, apparently, playing computer games and basically bumming at home. She remarked that she was glad that she left him before that. It's terrible how career-obsessed some people can be. I mean c'mon...studying isn't exactly the most fun thing in the world (until you see the working world), but that doesn't mean that one is obliged to charge into the job market as soon as one graduates... Perhaps if one was strapped for cash, but I think people are entitled to slack off after their graduations, male or female. I guess it's probably less socially acceptable for guys to do it 'coz society expects them to be the breadwinners. Too bad =p
