[Debate] Pervertedness is basic human nature.

[Disquiet]

Well, you're kinda right. You have people who spend a lot of time on the internet, people who eat a lot and make themselves obese, people who sleep a lot, people who loves to do nothing, etc. How I would phrase it is, if being perverted is a problem in the nature, then so are all the other behaviors I listed. The big difference is being perverted inherently intrudes upon other individuals.

Funny, I was researching Buddhism the other day. It was comparing consumption of food with ***. Basically, it was talking about how the activity of *** will never satisfy the desire for ***.

Here's the link to what I was reading if you're interested:

But yep, every time I hear people say how much they love food, I always compared it to perversion. It's almost like an epiphany to truly think before you speak, sometimes we don't realize just how hypocritical we are in our judgement.

Remember, a man's life if full of contradictions, so much so that pointing out one is like wanting a pat on the back for discovering that a fish lives in the sea. I don't know why people get so excited when someone contradicts themselves, to me it's just about getting them so see it, for humans in general to open their minds.

Well, in layman terms, perversion refers to sexual thoughts.

Im not taking about the literal definition.

But you have to understand where words come from in order to understand their meaning. While it is applied to mostly sexual behavior these days, in psychology you find it a lot. Pedophiles, serial killers, and Pyromaniacs aren't born that way, but their mind was perverted at some point of their life to distort their perception.

Pervertedness being a basic human nature is a bad excuse for behavior and nothing more.

Oh these ways of thinking never make me laugh enough. Seriously...What you're having here is a basic misconception. You saying how it's normal to go around succumbing to your instinct without any morals is a disgrace to humanity. We're not just some animals who go around following their instincts. We have something called reason. Do morals ring any bells to you? Having the need to eat and reproduce isn't the same as succumbing to gluttony and being a *** addict. But I guess saying this to you won't make anything happen. You're just another pawn brainwashed by the flashy lights...
