The sanctity of leasing

February 21, 2008

“Thus, during those nineteen years of torture and slavery, did this soul rise and fall at the same time. Light entered on the one side, and darkness on the other.”

Victor Hugo – Les MiserĂ¡bles
Book II – The Fall * Chapter VII

Relationships is such a vast topic, that due to popular demand (both voices on my mind), the subject is back…
Today we’ll see how the world is twisted and how everything is related, no matter how far fetched it seems.
Take Leasing and Marriages for example. For the untrained eye they have nothing in common, but if you look closely…

Leasing normally works by first selecting the object of your desire, that you can’t obviously afford, or you wouldn’t need a leasing, then by giving a down payment, and then your stuck with it for a long LONG time…

Surprisingly Marriages work in a very similar way. First you search for a girl that you want, but normaly can’t have, and in the end you won’t, so you settle for second best, then you give a down payment, meeting the parents and the you marry her being stuck with her/him for a long LONG time…

And all this is the good part, because after this is all downhill.
After some time you begin to see the new models and begin to wonder why can’t you have one of those, but then remember that you leased until the end of time and, as you didn’t have enough money for a decent down payment, you still have a huge residual value to pay for the lease.
Kinda like your marriage, because unless you know/are a very VERY good lawyer your residual payment will leave you working for food, and you can forget about sex.

So if you get an urge think when all the blood in your body is some place else, just pay for it…
