Love and Egalitarianism

Last week, I got flowers from someone that I had never expected to. Twice! Despite I never fond of flowers, this romantic-should-be-flower became kind of joke among my Kos friends. There were very long long out load laughing. Again, twice! This flowers sender was no other than used-to-be our landlord driver. He was such a careless driver that my landlord fired him after one-month work like two years ago. Our landlord called him a careless, crude, unbelievable driver he ever had in his life.

My Kos friends comments were exactly like my questions, why me, why now, after years? Apparently, he was our neighbor that we never realized and he was the one who teased me impolitely almost every night lately across our boarding house. One of the girls said, he chose me simply because my life style and my gesture seem very modest and reachable for him. Oh geez.

It seems the chit chatting shifted to the class of economy. We don’t need the Hindu caste system to feel, to see the caste created smoothly by the capitalism. The question is what’s wrong if he is a driver and a careless-uneducated-lack of wealth buddy? The girls accused me for not being egalitarian for turning down the dating offer.

Geez girls, hello, it’s chemistry, nothing to do with egalitarianism at all. Don’t bring any lullaby story of a handsome-wealthy prince falling in love with poor-humble-noble Cinderella here. Well of course I will not put my self as the handsome-wealthy prince, not suit at all. There’s neither prince nor Cinderella here. The fairy tale, I believe, teaches us that if we fall in love with anyone and we are comfortable for whoever-whatever he/she is, then fine, we must fight for the love. The lines never refer to the egalitarianism in million years.

The argument then could be very long that somehow chemistry in love was built by appearance, wealthy and attitude, characters that however divide people in category and class. Well that’s true for me but again love and egalitarianism are even unrelated. In math we call it independent variable. Questioning egalitarian in dating offer is definitely out of subject.

But somehow, it’s really fun to hear my friends had long out load laughing. Twice! And thanks to the flowers I have passion to write my blog again. Glad to come back.
