SCARLET LETTER

well i have had this topic on my mind lately. for those of u that havent read the scarlet letter GO READ IT!! i wonder what it is that possesses us to play with temptation? ie.....doin what we know is wrong morally or doin somethin that we have specifically been told not to do. r we really as ignorant as that? is the "bad factor" that inticing? sure we all feel the need to b bad from time to time but is there a lack of total self control here? im ranting about this topic b/c i have a friend that has seemingly put theirself in this situation. i am disappointed. granted they made their own bed and they will have to lay in it but im left wondering if they will ever "wake up" and realize the consequences of their actions. from the outsiders perspective i feel as though this person is tryin to find love in all the wrong places. i feel like this person needs to "get their shit str8"---and no im not talkin about the everyday things such as goin to work and payin ur bills. i mean deal with their demons. they will never find what they r truly lookin for until they do this, i know from my personal experience---having looked to many a bf for a father figure and having all those relationships go down the drain due to such high expectations i was having. i feel like this person is equating love to sex........the two r not related. u will not ever find a partner that will love u the way a family is supposed to love u b/c there r different types of love. it is not ok to do "bad things" simply b/c u can.........if that was the case we'd all b robbing banks and stealing the cars of our dreams. im not condoning or condemning anyone for this type of behavior.......too bad we dont do things like in the scarlet letter....how many ppl would b wearing the letter A?
