The Social Puppet

It had disgusted me right from the moment it had started. I had never felt so used or, according to me, even abused before. It was like am no better than a commodity or maybe an animal, decked up, displayed and ready to be sent off to the highest bidder. How do we buy cattle? The owner puts up a board saying he is ready to sell. Then comes the first round of perusal, see if it meets our requirements. If it does, we go to the store to get a first hand look and feel of it. All things set, start the price negotiations. And once it is ours, we scream our throats hoarse trying to get others' attention towards our newest trophy.  Well, this is how I view my marriage.
