Love and Lust

Situation: You love someone but you can't go without the thrill of sneaking behind his / her back to share your abundant love with someone else

Hypothesis: If you love someone, you won't hurt him / her

Strategy: Lead multiple lives without one knowing the existence of the other(s)

Rationale: If you love someone enough, you would die to see your loved one's ignorance shattered to pieces. But YOU would die too if you had to give up your vice. You might love just the one but without the other you could not love as much you can him / her now. Your soul is hungry for thrills and only when satiated can it be translated into love which you generously share with the one and only.

Conclusion: If you HAVE to cheat, you would by all means cheat behind his / her back. If you cheat openly, you're frankly nothing but a prick.

Note: That is my view on the difference between polygamy and (discrete) adultery. Cheating is wrong. But if what is wrong is unavoidable, then the lesser of the two evil = discrete adultery.

Open adultery = polygamy = Fucked up.

So there you go. My penny's worth of thought. In summary ignorance IS bliss.
