Screwing Libidos

I used to be able to take pride in the fact that I respect other people's lifestyles as long as they don't try to harm mine. But right now I can't say that. It's egocentric, selfish, foolish of me, but right now I'm just furious that people don't see some things my way. I hate myself for saying this, but I can't lie. I have to purge this ugly, true me.

I value virginity because its something you can only give to one person. To me, that person should be your spouse. Your one and only. I feel a gaping hole inside my chest when I see so many giving it away so recklessly, and not caring. How they continue to indulge in an act they substitute for love.

I could never do such a thing... it's probably because I know that if I did, I'd feel like a slut. That if I did, and I wasn't with that person for the rest of my life, I'd regret ever doing it.

And I know hardly anyone would agree with me. That's fine. It hurts me when it comes from those close to me, those I care deeply for.

It's not that I think myself above them, I am just angry at them because I accuse them as weak, when I know that probably had nothing to do with it. I am angry because they did as they pleased, and I cannot do the same. I am angry because they act like adults when their hearts and minds are still like a child's. I am angry because I force myself to act my age.

I am angry because I know I have no right or reason to be angry. I am angry because I know I am not pure, and yet demand others to be pure. I am angry at their hands and for the bodies they have touched, the ones they have yet to touch. I am angry that they know of an art I know nothing of.

I am just angry at everything right now, and not making any sense.

I will not resume our debate, however I'll add that anger is good. Anger is one of the answers. Anger doesn't start wars, Pride does. Anger doesn't hurt people, vengeance does. Anger creates, and anger modifies. There's silence, and anger, and therefore, love.
