this should be my assignment, lol.

so i have to write an assignment for my second english class, and i havent the slightest idea what to write or how to write it. we came up with some 'philosophical' questions, questions that cant really be answered, but somehow we have to respond to it in any form we want. im not really artistically inclined: i cant write poetry, cant write a song either, which is basically the same thing, really. so im stuck for the most part.

the question im trying to answer, is, "what happens when your morals and taught/developed ethics conflict with your desires?" considering my last post, you can obviously tell what i was feeling at the moment.

i was taught, as we basically all were, to not give into temptation, and treat your body like a temple and stay a virgin until we're married and blah blah blah. all of that is important, but then life happens. in terms of me, im a virgin by choice, despite the fact that my love life lacks. but im not gonna get into that. im learning in philosophy that many philosophers believed that in order to "be one", you must deprive yourself of the appetites. at our age the most obvious is sex, which was the basis behind my question. but thats not the only one. some people desire to do certain things with their lives, or want to pursue a certain path. but theyre too worried about what people might think or whether or not, even though they think its the way to go, will it ultimately be beneficial to them in the long run? will it pan out the way they want it to, or will they fail and have to endure the ridicule and "i-told-you-so"'s?

i guess what the answer kinda is is that no matter what, you still have to take any slight chance, regardless of how you were taught or what the outcome may be. in my situation however, im gonna be a little bit more careful, because you have to be that way when it comes to matters of the heart. other than that, you can go about your business any which way because even though it might be against what you and others believe in, if you feel good about the outcome, then its good either way you spin it.
