So Why Competing

So why competing?
When you see a young 
                              parrot singing ,"
Respect your husband 
             and 
 Stop competing 
                            with him to 
                                            save your marriage." 
You will be astonished to see 
                                a bird telling 
                                                you the truth.

So why competing? 
When you see a peacock  teaching 
                                                   more about pride.
You can think, thinking  to hit
                                          the innocent bird with 
A golden rode
                  because it is a master of arrogance.

So why competing ?
When a white rabbit says  loudly, " 
                                                    you can easily 
Say if my
                husband mistaken cheat 
                                                   and I cheat too...,'
But if he buys you valuable 
                                       stuffs you can not buy 
Them for him too...
                              to prove your  competition.
Dear , It is so cuckoo.'"

So why competing?
Egotism
               is a relative and best friend of egoism 
And both two lead to destruction
                                  because they are all  vanity.
Don't allow  some evil spirits 
                                                      distract  you.  
There is no solution
                                      in  infuriation...
                   But 
There is an answer in forgiving and forgetting.

Different cultures, different expectations. :)
This world is something else. Competition in marriage always destroys. Who can build a house while the Ouragan is blowing terrible. Thanks for your comments on my page Your most welcome
