I think I'm having a mid-life crisis. I've been complaining too much. Becoming very unmotivated and seemed to have lost interest in general. I'm doing nothing much these days except work, going to the gym and listening to Maria Callas.
I should get out and meet people, be a super ultra slut again. Or I'll just settle for falling in love and have two kids and a picket fence. My life needs some drama. I've also thought my life would be extraordinary. It would be filled with great happiness and major disappointments. But it will be remembered. Just like Maria Callas, I've been listening to two of her most famous roles recently - Norma and Medea.
Norma, a druid high priestess, had two children with Pollione, a roman warrior. He meets stupid slut Adalgisa, a member of Norma's sorority, also a priestess, and has an illicit affair with her. Norma finds out and rages war on the romans. Pollione is caught and brought back to Norma and her people. She tells her people there is a traitor amongst them. Of course she was referring to stupid slut Adalgisa. But she realised that she herself was guilty of doing the nasty with a roman. In an act of self-guilt and her love for Pollione, she exclaims that it is she! For that, Norma must die. But she knows that she will die with Pollione. The cheating bastard seeing that Norma chooses to perish with him, re-ignites his love for Norma. Both sing their everlasting love for each other while being burnt alive in the pyre of fire.
Medea's story is world-renowned. She like Norma, has two children, with Jason. She finds out Jason wants to marry Glauce, also a stupid slut. Long story short, when she found out, she killed Glauce with a poisoned dress and Creon, Glauce's father. To hurt Jason further, she kills her two own children and flees.
My point is, would you rather live a pointless, bland and boring life or live a life like Norma and Medea? If you find out that your lover cheats on you, would your revenge be like Norma's or Medea's?
