The actress hasn't learned the words you'd like to hear
I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong,
but what one becomes as a consequence of it
Oscar Wilde may have been a tad full of himself, but sometimes he puts it exactly as it is.
After a discussion about right and wrong and whether we adjust to the norms only because of the threat of being punished for our mistakes, I got to thinking about it.
Are we only bad if someone knows about it?
Should we in fact strive to maximize our pleasure and minimize pain whatever measures, no matter what?
Ignorance, denial, avoidance...
It is not shocking that a "wrong" does not feel wrong until you are faced with consequences.
Before that you are fulfilled with the initial euphoria of "getting away with it".
You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on.
Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there's nothing there
And that's that I guess
(Lovers are thieves, and that's that)
That is all there is.
The desire to act despite the prohibition
And the chaos that follows discovery.
