limits
It's so interesting to me the way people put limits on things that they want to feel like they are in control of. This goes on so many levels - limits on what you can and cannot do, limits on who people can and cannot sleep with, etc.
Now, there are limits I agree with. If you're doing something that is potentially hazardous to someone else's health, then maybe there should be a limit on that. So, say, smoking - yeah, I guess there should be limits on where you can smoke, but what you can smoke?? Or maybe driving - there should definitely be a limit on who can drive, because there's way too many morons with licenses as it stands. Also, maybe they should limit things like how many times a horrible band can play in my town, or whether you can have sex with a stranger after so many drinks or not. That could work in some people's favor, I think. I'm sure we'd have rebels though, but the morning after will be torture enough to ensure that the word on this limit is passed on.
The main reason this came to mind today is a post I read about someone who randomly added me here. Case in point (this is an example), say I had a boy/girlfriend, but we've since broken up, and I am now sleeping with someone new. Say I have a friend who has a crush on my ex, but I tell said friend to stay away from my ex because I'm still in love with him/her. I think said example self is a selfish bitch. I don't get this. Maybe I lack a penis, and therefore cannot understand this breach of friendship mentality, but honestly - who the hell am I to tell my ex who they can and cannot see? Who am I to limit their would-be happiness with someone who I already know and care about a great deal. To me, if my ex would be happy with someone I know, more power to them because at least I don't have to find out their new bedbuddy is an asshole who treats them like shit. I don't know. I'm annoyed by people and their self-centered mentalities about barriers like this. It just makes me wonder if we really want anyone else to really be happy, or if we only want them to be happy as long as we're happy.
Oh, and while we're at it, why not put a limit on how many pop-up ads for penis enlargement and webcams can show up on my screen in a 30 second period.
