Thoughts: Co-pilot

I put aside all those structure maps, switch off my linux machine and start doing lowly behavior of browsing aimlessly at working hours. In my defense though, I’d say I’m confident that eventually I will be able to tackle the entire chore down today anyway. So nothing harm in taking a good break for a minute or two. Or three. Or indefinitely.

Anyway, after browsing out Youtube as an attempt to find a good morning soundtrack (3rd eye blind rules!), I end up reading people’s status on FB. 
Something catches me straight away.

A friend of mine, the lovely Wida, stated on her wall –obviously– a very interesting remark: Life's better with company. Everyone needs a co-pilot. And as I let myself concuring the statement, she added something as if she’s arguing with herself: Even when that co-pilot crashes the plane down...(???)
I chuckle. I’m just loving the cynical, outlandish, thickling thoughts of hers. Rather feral yet honest.

To prolong this exciting topic on spot, She again inserted further statement: U know what, an aircraft company says, there are no safe seat on board. Guess it means, an aircraft is possibly crashed by any cause, at anytime (Unless the pilot and co pilot work together to keep it safe from crashing down).
Why the hell do we hv to satisfy our insatiable needs of taking risk??????? like...co-pilot-ing our life. I'm such a retarded to understand this.

People started to put more comments in. A friend of hers (I guess), this bright-man Ali commented, saying that: We, humans need a partner because we are too afraid to face the life alone... because we want to have someone else whom we can blame when things go wrong. 

Wida (and I for that matter) wondered: Is that really what it all about???

The bright-man Ali commented back: Yeah humans go through all this trouble just because they feel insecure...

Then came in The wise-one Marisa to this interlocution with her comment: From my perspective, I rather think it's all about having a partner to share responsibilities...coz it's not just about whom to blame when anything goes wrong, but it's about how to plan our journey and help each other to achive our goals... 

Bright-man Ali replied: You are right... if one could find a co-pilot who remains a good caring partner, then maybe it's worth joining the forces.. But how can one know if a partner would act like a real partner when things get messed up? and sharing responsibilities? marrying increases responsibilities, not reduces them..

I couldn't agree more to everything they stated on there but in the end, it comes down to as The wise-one Marisa stated on the next comment: that in life, it's all about making choices. Whether you'd navigate your ride alone or accompanied, it's fully your call.
And talking about risks, well.. I would say that indeed The married are the risk takers, and by having taken it, not only that they have a possibility to undergo the hardest time of their lives but also the happiest time ever. Cause I simply believe the more the risks, the higher the gains. 
And so if you think the "benefits" of being committed in relationship/having a partner/co-pilot-ing your life isn't worth all the fight and if you feel content flying solo, why bother.
IMHO.
