If lying is alright with your morality and so it betrayal what exactly is your morality based on? Betterment of humanity or some BS like that? Come on.
I don't have to "justify" anything. "Justification" insinuates that I have to answer to you, or anyone else here on this topic. I don't. I was merely pointing out how the moral compasses of some people here are just as twisted as mine allegedly is.
You're using the classic rhetorical tactic of: "If just ignore 90% of his argument and focus on a particular 10%, my opponent and everyone else will forget that he made some valid points that I can't address."
Sorry, bro. It's realz before feelz in this journal, and I'm going to keep shoving that sh*t down your throat until you realize you love me, or Shannon / Ben makes us stop.
In my previous post, I asked a number of thought-provoking questions about the nature of morality. If you took the time to dwell on them, you'd gain the ability to better explore this situation -- and thus, yourself -- because you're now equipped with an intellectual richness that goes beyond a kneejerk reaction out of fear. Because that's what this all comes down to.
Fear. The loss of agency. The loss of power.
In my six-figure income days, I donated close to $15k/year to domestic violence charities and I sponsored the education of a child from a third world country. This past weekend, I also enjoyed tasting the sweetness of my friend's girlfriend. How does that affect your judgment of me? How does that INFORM your morality? Am I taking away from the sum of the universe or adding to it?
I'll put it as simple as this: Your vitriolic condemnation means absolutely nothing to me. Will not affect my life in the slightest. I have no use whatsoever for: "oh my gawdz chaosvrgn u is teh evil one cuz u porked her!!!!11" I'll simply cast those opinions aside and pretend they don't even exist.
Your INSIGHTS, however, are useful to both myself and the community. And THAT'S why I posted the story in the first place. So please, do come back with something more insightful. Use RTBoss, Sickologist, Ivaylo and K-Train's posts as a reference. Notice how they disagree with what I did, but they're addressing it in a larger context than just, "you should feel bad because of reasons."
BUT, to answer your question about my morality. I'm a bit of a Byronic hero. I do what benefits myself the most. I spend the majority of my time discovering and pursuing the things that would make me feel good. For the most part, I try and succeed at minimizing any collateral damage, but sometimes, shit happens.
Here's what I felt in that situation: Before me was a very attractive woman inviting me to engage with her in a primal act of lust. And I decided that what I wanted the most was to HAVE HER, at least for that moment. And so, I willingly surrendered myself to passion and did it.
And what you're telling me is that I'm wrong for this because I offended your fragile, inconsistent, broken sense of morality? Where, "betrayal of a friend" is much worse than considering all women "b*ches" that don't deserve consideration?
