Morals and Ethics

I spent the day fussing over the issue of morals—you know, right vs. wrong and why something is right in one case and not in another and wondering why some things are wrong when they really don’t seem to be harmful and… just junk.  As one might imagine, I chased myself in circles on this one and didn’t really solve anything.  Philosophy can be fun, but it can also be a pointless endeavor filled with sleepless nights and endless arguments.

Some things really just don’t have an objective right or wrong.

In some societies, monogamy is not the norm.  Yeah, I know, shocking, isn’t it.  *wipes the sarcasm from her screen*  Why then, do we uphold such strong belief that there is one man for every one woman and that’s it… that’s all there is.  Well, I don’t know, anymore, it’s “that’s all there is… until you get divorced.“  Harumph.  I wonder if we weren’t so stiflingly conservative about sexual conduct if more marriages would last longer. 

I don’t believe there is just one man for one woman.  I believe that any number of partners might be suitable and there isn’t a “Miss/Mister Right.“  I also believe that two men or two women can hold together a long lasting and loving relationship (read: marriage.)  It seems to me, that two women and one man or two men and one woman would be fine.  Or three women and two men or… whatever.  I don’t know.  We set these weird laws for ourselves though and they don’t make much sense.  Maybe once upon a time they made sense, but not anymore.

I guess, once up on a time, one man wanted his one woman to be faithful to him because he only wanted to provide for his own children.  He didn’t want more mouths to feed and more responsibilities laid on him or whatever.  And one woman was faithful to one man because… um… I don’t really know.  Because she was too busy to deal with all the shit that comes with two Y-Chromosome defective humans?  I have no clue.  In a society where safe and effective pregnancy and disease prevention is widely available, it seems to me a lot of our “rules” for sexual conduct should change.

On that note, a “sinful”
