Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2702369, member: 8215"] There's some pretty compelling evidence in this thing called "history". You've been around long enough to watch a few civilisations thrive and succumb ;) Before you go blaming religion for that too, I'll argue straight up that religion has for sure been used as a way of justifying it, but you can be pretty sure that human nature, specifically greed & power, has driven it. Again, I say how far do you want to go in terms of justifying actions with "it's human nature"? It's basically at the core of why I am more dismayed with humanity every day. It's starting to lean way to far on the side of individual "freedoms", what people believe they're entitled to, and the lust for instant gratification. In this case, people willing to sacrifice their long term well being and relationships for a quick **** right now. "We weren't meant to be monogamous". I'll agree with you in that some relationships just aren't meant to be, and ending it mutually and maturely may be the best outcome. But it should be the exception rather than the rule - it might seem the best option at the time but there's a lifetime worth of mess and heartache, especially if kids are involved. That doesn't mean I support people staying together even if the kids are subjected to arguments, abuse, and hatred. It means that I would like to think that if that decision is made, then the people should do everything in their power to make the marriage work, not just make it tolerable, but to work on making it thrive through honesty, respect, and love. Yeah, it's a lot hard work, which is why so many just pull the pin and look for the solution that seems the easiest in the short-term. PS. That's not a dig at you or your situation. [/QUOTE]
