It hurts because of trust, jealousy, dependence, control, wanting to feel secure and loved, wanting to be the only one your partner desires...
Is adultery really just human nature? It may be animal nature, but we're so different from animals in so many ways. We have a sense of right and wrong, we have morals, we have self control...do they not all play a part in deciding whether one should commit adultery or not?
If adultery was part of human nature then man would not be capable of monogamous relationships and marriage, etc, would not exist...but the truth is, it is possible to commit, to stay faithful. We CAN defy animal instincts because we're intellectually and emotionally very distinct from them
Oh yeah thought I should mention I noticed the change on your blog :) It's nice, a bright change!
Is it alright? I'm not sure... its stuffed up some alignment of paragraphs and stuff...
hmmm... should it stay or should it go... ?
Oreo, i think you are right on the mark with your first post.
The difference between humans and animals is their capacity to think.
Is the concept of adultery human nature or is it just another spike thats been nailed into our morality?
Ah-HA!
My point EXACTLY, Louis. Spot on.
As long as it's done in a caring, open and understanding way, it's quite possible to have other partners in a committed relationship. (The vast majority of the thousands of species on Earth mate --to produce an offspring no less-- with a new partner every season.) Why do we think we should be different in that regard? Just a question for reflection/open discussion.
Have a look here (link below) --it's serious stuff, really, and is at the center of human love relationships. Jealousy and related themes have occupied the minds of humanities greatest writiers --one need only start with Shakespeare's "Othello".
