You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself!

What is it about sex that makes people want to risk everything for it? People throw away a great family life, a good job, respect, their reputation and name, relationships, and dignity all for the pure unlasting satisfaction of physical lust. I am obviously venting here, but just bear with me for a couple of minutes. A recent "rather unfortunate event" that has happened to some people that I know and used to respect until now, has me asking this question to you tonight in a blog. Why do humans (namely men. Even though I know women can be just as immoral and show just as much indiscretion as men, but statistics really speak volumes on this topic. Stats confirm that 70% of married men have or are cheating on their spouses. While 48% of women have been unfaithful.) seem so undisciplined when it comes to maintaining monogamy?! I mean gray wolves, condors, beavers, coyotes, barn owls, bald eagles, swans, and even termites mate for life, so why the hell can't humans?! What is so tricky about keeping "it" at home and only having intercourse with your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc?

You always hear about politicians (look at the John Edwards, Gary Condit, and Bill Clinton fiascoes just to name a few more notable one), celebrities, respected members of society, and "regular" people who get into trouble over their sex addict ways and unethical actions. It has become far too common in our society to hear that a couple is splitting up because of the infidelity of one spouse and people just shrug and go "okay, and..." Like cheating alone isn't enough to warrant the "love of your life" walking out on the cheater. It's like it's normal or okay somehow because it happens so often in our society. That is so sad! We have become so desensitized and demoralized as a nation that values like honesty, faithfulness, equality, and treating others as you would want to be treated have been put on the very back burner and ignored. I think that a nation that claims to be one of the best in the world should start upholding loyalty to one another as a priority.
