About Me

"Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls." - Kahlil Gibran"Man is not as good as he thinks he is. (Nor as bad, for that matter, but let's not complicate things.) He has certain needs, demands certain services which in reality are probably healthy and natural, but to which in time's passage and as a result of odd quirks in his ethos, he has ascribed (or allowed his religious leaders - often guilt-warped, psychopathic misfits - to ascribe) negative values. In the queerest of paradoxical metamorphoses, honest desires change into taboos. To simply "say" that a desire is immoral - or, resorting to flimsier abstraction, to deem the fulfillment of a desire illegal - does not eliminate the desire. It does not eliminate anything except straightforwardness. It creates, in addition to a climate of deception, an underworld into which men "descend" in order to partake of Code B services not permitted under the provisions of Code A. Society hires armed goons to force itself to conform to Code A, but a greater sum of money is spent each year in the surreptitious enjoyment of the services provided by Code B. The underworld persists because the society needs it, insists upon it, supports it (at the same time that it denies and persecutes it, of course).
