Article link: Of Marriage and Single Life
By: Sir Francis Bacon
Central Argument: Sir Francis Bacon is trying to say that a single person is more capable of producing a change in society, by virtue of his actions and inventions, than a married person.
A lot of people throughout history have changed the world we live in. These people had a vision and pursued it to success. They were known as entrepreneurs, scientists, explorers and many other things. If looked at carefully, even though there were some married people, most of them were single people. Throughout history people have accused marriage of being a binding commitment that will hold back a person from achieving his optimum potential. Even though I do not agree to stereotypes that women are inferior to men and that they stop him from progress, I agree that marriage stop an individual from really revolutionizing the world. Sir Francis Bacon believes that a single person is more capable of creating a change in the society than a married person and I agree with him.
Single people are more free to pursue the dreams they believe in as compared to married men. If a person is single, then he is free to do whatever he believes in. He does not have thing what will be the repercussions because he is the only one who will have to take responsibility of his actions. He will have no family about he will have to think about. And in the end it has been observed that generally those who pursue their dreams freely are able to do something huge. Bill Gates is a living example of this. The founder of Microsoft, he changed the world of computers completely. His bachelorhood till the age of forty gave him the freedom to pursue his dream without restraint. He thus was able to setup the biggest software company in the history of the world. He was a pioneer in the field of computers who would have been lost in the tides of time if he married at a young age. This is because he would have to think about his family and thus not be free enough to pursue his dream to the fullest.
Single people are ready to take more risks as compared to married men. Married people have their families to worry about and are thus not able to take as much risks as single men are. Ratan Tata is one example of this. Before he got married Tata helped develop TATA motors. His ideas and visions though risky paid off in the end. He was able to transform TATA from a huge indian company to a multi-crore MNC. But after he got married, he started taking less risks. Thus even though TATA is still a huge company, it has not done anything drastically revolution arising in recent times. It is trying to maintain a stable platform. While before marriage Ratan Tata introduced cars and other fields into the working areas of his company (which earlier was only steel), after marriage he sid not introduce anything. This is because now he only did not have to care about himself, he had a family to think about. Thus he could not afford to risk their future.
Single people are more optimistic and open-minded as compared to married men. Mark Zuckerberg has revolutionarised the domain of social networking. He was a college drop-out who wanted to do what he believed in. His ideas were considered to high to be within reach. After he dropped out from college, a lot of people criticized him. But he remained optimistic. He was single and thus did not have any wife or children to be worried about. He did what he believed in, always keeping an optimistic approach. In the end he created "Facebook" which is the biggest social networking sight the world has ever seen. He continued to listen to others opinions and use them in Facebook. He is still single and is thus able to keep on changing things on Facebook which pull people towards it. Some people thought that what could one possible change in a social networking sight but he proved them wrong. Its his open mindedness and optimism, that comes from being single, which gives him the ability to keep improving and changing the world.
Changing the society or doing something that will help a lot of people is not easy. But single people are more likely to create a change in the world. Their freedom is their biggest strength and a quality which I feel every whorl-changer should have.
