Compartmentalized
The weekend has landed on our consciences. It’s here. What do people in their upper 20’s and 30’s do? That is the tricky question, especially if you are single. Most places are flooded with youth and families. The government and private businesses have neglected to look into this because it may be a minor demographic business venture to pursue in Kuwait. While out, one is pressed into getting married because that is the primary perception. And, for the few of us who use marriage as a pathetic excuse to depart loneliness, ironically, we soon end up divorced or displaced and felt misused because of it.
Nevertheless, this rare-breed singles age group disembarks out in this nether reality called ‘the Kuwaiti weekend.’ Our souls stalk others with eyes of wisdom in such places as cafes, beaches, gatherings, and other social functions. Our multiple identities whisper through others’ collections of characters. A few eyes target and beam seduction onto one another, or aim and shoot hatred at each other. It’s foreplay for the soul. It’s exercise for the mind. It’s a beckoning for deletion of transparency.
Few successes appear but they entail chasing and heavy pursuing of cheap cigarette talk and fragmented cliches of worlds we choose to leave but get quick-sanded into knowing. Telephone numbers are exchanged: personalities are advertised: individualities rebooted each and every time. We are all out looking for colors of love from friendship to romance to idolatry.
As the small amounts of hours of pleasure hypnotize and jolly your foundation due to having marketed and temporarily lent your BEing, you end up with the direct opposite sensation as you are home later on and your soul is dripping: leaking. Pondering how so many people have sifted through you; disposed of you as you have done the same to them. Contemplating why you do not remain with one for a long time. Thinking of ‘how and why,’ while almost all of them have also ended up in the same state as you because their egos made it hard to release themselves to someone not of the same merit.
Although your abundant friends, or should I say acquaintances, are there to ‘help’ you, to smother you, to conditionally love you whenever through what they think is unconditional love, you somehow are still alone in a world. The very same world that is striving desperately to be your family is not recognizing its overt powerful exertion. It dumps you into an uninvited refuge of loneliness, as a result. One is left addicted to hating love; addicted to loving depression. One is stripped into being *COMPARTED with a *MENTALITY very different than what he has been taught to adore: COMPARTMENTALIZED!
* Pun intended for the meaning
