Hmmmm

Recently had a squabble w/ this good friend of mine. I think we have a difference in philosophy and it bothers me a bit. The squabble was about something else, but my deep analysis brings me to this thought...

I feel his priorities in life and wrong, but its not that its wrong, its that it doesn't quite match mine. I dont know if this is a serious problem or not. One has to accept a person for who he is, proclivities and all. Thus I understand but at the same time am annoyed.

It stems from my observation of his focus in that he a) puts getting laid ahead of most other things in life, b) cheats on his girlfriend -- stringing her along until he can find a better girl, c) finds ultimate accomplishment in sleeping w/ random girls.

It puts forth the philosophical question of whether this one aspect of his personality that I don't agree w/ is a measure of his real being or not. Lots of guys have their flings, or have affairs, or lead girls on, etc. Doesn't mean they are bad people does it? I think having a fling or going to cambodia to have sex with 18yo girls is questionable in terms of morales and health, but in the end these guys aren't going to leave their GF or wife, so I'm okay w/ the need to fulfill a natural urge. Leading a girl on emotionally and just using them till the next thing comes along is somewhat cruel to me, but thats because I am too weak maybe.

Anyways its a bit odd, I'm no saint, but I do have some morales and try to do the right thing. Of course this empathy may be holding me back from lots of fun, but I guess its the way I wanna live. I guess thats the way he wants to live and maybe the key is to just be true to yourself.
