That's my story, my lessons learned – some too late, of course, that being the nature of lessons. Can they be summarized? I think so.
Don't betray love.
All we are trying to do, in the end, is find love. People pursue sex, drugs, religion, material possessions, and fame, but what they are truly seeking is love. Just a little bit more, they think, more sex partners, more crack, more piousness, more stuff, more fans, and they will finally fill that void in their soul. It doesn't work. Only love can do that.
You betray love when you dehumanize or objectify sex, take advantage of others, mislead others about your intentions and feelings, and – most of all – when you fail to embrace love, even though it is right in front of you, waiting for you with open arms.
Again I must quote Laura Hollander from my story "A Lifetime in One Moment." I wish I could have understood the depth and power of what she was saying. I suppose I had to learn for myself.
"Love first, then everything else."

Anonymousover 4 years agoWe can find inspiration anywhere , though my search for smut brought me here.
But this is an awesome story on all counts . In the longer run , we know our heart knows the truth .
Sex is temporary , love is forever . I have lost , so i know .
Anonymousover 7 years agoThis story is heartfelt, eloquent and the writer a true stoic. To be a good man is hard, hard work, but you give me hope I am on the right path. For the previous commenter who called the author a prick, at least he had the integrity to feel guilt over his actions and share the lessons accumulated throughout his life. Not only did he feel remorse but he defined one of his misadventures as leaving "a lesion on his soul". I can empathize greatly.
Thank you for your story sir.
