MONOGAMY ISSUES. Went home yesterday really disappointed. Just found out that the person that I had started to look-up to is cheating on his wife -- something that has been going on for years. I don't know man -- I just feel that a person cheating on his wife or husband doesn't have good character. That is dishonesty. I was telling Pol & Myra that my key take-away from this shocking bit of info is that -- If God plans for me to get married, I hope he would give me the "faithful" kind. Myra asked me a rather interesting question -- "Who doesn't want a faithful husband?" I pondered on that for a while and thought -- hey, most societies (except probably Islam) expect monogamy in marriage. If most people want that, then why the heck do some people cheat? Is it a case of the-grass-seems-always-greener-on-the-other-side? the mistake of making a hasty decision in picking one's partner? the belief that 1 is good, but more is better? -----Whatever the reason, I think nothing could ever justify cheating. Because cheating hurts people. Moreover, I think if one doesn't have the capacity to be monogamous, then he/she shouldn't be allowed to get married, so nobody would get hurt. The world would probably be a better place if there were less broken souls.
