Harsh...
as a society, we are way too hard on ourselves. we feel bad and condemn too many natural things. people have sexual urges. people have natural bodily functions. and yet...
sex before marriage is bad.
masturbation is bad.
farting is bad.
burping is bad.
talking while eating is bad.
eating too much in public is bad.
blowing your nose in public is bad.
picking any body part is bad.
cracking knuckles is bad.
using public bathrooms is bad.
of course the list varies for each person and for each social circle. and some have even more restrictions on themselves. and there are the few who agree to no restraints. that isn't necessarily the best route either. but at any rate, we beat ourselves up and create arbitrary rules and feel bad and embarrassed.
i am certainly not saying i'm guilty of this. i'm just calling us on it. not really because i think it'll change. just sayin....
