Oooh, baby! You're guilty of LUST. Some experts say people have a sexually oriented thought every seven seconds, but you just might throw off the curve. Yes, it's true that we live in a society that caters to those seeking immediate pleasure, but that's not all there is to life. Take love, for example — it offers far more sentiment and emotional depth. But no matter what you think, just try to remember pursuing fleeting pleasures is a pastime that leads to no lasting good.
Why is lust so bad? Well, according to early religious scholars, because it breaks down self-control. They believed that earthly pleasures must be regulated, or else they'll pervert the soul's growth and well-being. What's more, because lust is such a self-destructive desire, it will eventuallysurpass the actual worth of the pleasurable sensations it brings. Take heart, though: Medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri wrote that lust is the least deadly of the seven sins. (Of course, he was sitting in a brothel when he wrote that. Go figure.)
