Shakespeare - Sonnet 129

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action: and till action, lust
Is perjur'd, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight;
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallow'd bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad:
Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof,— and prov'd, a very woe;
Before, a joy propos'd; behind a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.

virtue is always restraining yourself, being stronger than your urges, your "I" being stronger than your "IT". Therefore, lustful activity is the opposite of a virtue

sure it is, but that doesn't mean it's good art.

If sex is the most basic necessity for a healthy being, then why should virtue disallow it?

>> No.6226170

I don't care. You don't need to describe your life by how virtuous, whatever that means, it is. Remember, we're nothing but intelligent apes on a relatively small floating rock in a relatively small galaxy in an uncaring and impersonal universe

No, not really. Might is right has very little to do with Darwin and evolution. Read The Selfish Gene and watch Nice Guys Finish First.
