So coming back from work yesterday quite tired ,I made myself a cup of tea and a sandwich and slumped myself on the sofa to watch the debate on weather divorce should be introduced here in Malta. The more i listened to the debate the more confused i got. I wasn't sure if i wanted to laugh or maybe cry at the things some of the participants were saying. Seemed like some of them have arrived from some other planet where they have utopia and these things don't happen.Some keep hiding behind religion for an answer but is this the reality we are living in? First of all i can't understand why to separate is ok to some people but divorce is not.What is the difference in reality? Can someone explain please? When a marriage breaks down altogether why do we have to bury our heads in the sand and keep hoping that it will go back to what it was before. Once one looses confidence in the other partner i don't think one will ever get it  back and even if one pardons the other ,at the first argument these things will be thrown at each others face.Separated couples of which now there are loads in catholic malta , are finding other partners and living with them trying to start a new life with someone they now love . I don't see anything wrong with this. We are just kidding ourselves hiding behind our supposed Catholicism. Our catholicism from my point of view is very shaky indeed .Some people seem to think that by imposing things they are making religion better. No way. For religion to grow it should come from the heart.Something one is free to choose and free to live the way one believes is best for him.The church's mission is to teach not imposeThat is why the church is loosing the appeal especially to the younger generation. I believe that if you are catholic you should follow the teachings of your religion and nobody will put a gun to your head and make you divorce if you don't want to .What about all the others who don't have the same beliefs? Are they allowed to make a new life with someone who they love. Can love ever be bad?
         One thing i didn't understand on the program is the way some politicians tried to avoid the question of being for or against divorce. Can't they give us an answer or they are afraid they might lose a few votes in the next election. No one expects all of them to be in favour but please at least they should have the decency to give an answer.I think we have to wake up to reality .We all wish that we never need divorce but reality is different.
