Make Inu

Make inu means the losing dog. This term refers to women who opt to fly solo instead of playing duet in a companionship called marriage. Once my Japanese friend pointed out about this vogue happening nationwide in Japan. This might be the grounds for the population shrinkage undergoing in Japan, which leads to a state of aging population. One might state that the real happiness in life can only be obtained behind connubial wall and all action in its subsequence. On the other hand, one might also find silver lining within this condition for having more space and time to enjoy themselves, no worries about children, school fund and or education concern. Every individual has their rational motives for their action.

In comparison with Indonesia, women in Indonesia are disposed to get married in a younger age. Broadly speaking, after graduate from university, they pace into the next step of life by getting married. Of late this topic arises each time I have conversation with some friends (women). They express their worries about the communal demand of their getting married soon. Questions asked here and there by the encircling community drives them crazy. And the most difficult part is parents, cause what a child wants is to make parents be satisfied of their child.

Some say that they wont lower their standard just because the societal community expect them to do so. It is about a lifetime happiness that we should strive for by ourself. But some at long last give up and succumb to their parents's choice for husband. Societal circle could be very irritating. But I do really hope that their decision are for their best and happiness.

Speaking personally, I dream of getting married with someone I love and who loves me in return. A lifetime partner and bestfriend. From what path and how he comes doesnt reaally matter to me.
