[MD] A Place for the Principled Person

[Matt poot]

I hope i can contribute something here, because i have not been able to read 
previous posts.

What is a principled person?

if there is anyone out there who thinks that there is some way to resist 
biological forces, raise their hands.  The strongest willed intellectual can 
be brought to ruin by emotions.  Is a principled person someone who is anal 
retentive?  murder isnt a biological crime.  murder can be either emotional, 
biological, or intellectual.  just the same with anything in life.


sex for example.   Sex is biological. good sex is emotional. great sex is 
intellectual.


emotions are the symbiotic culmination of the biological hormones released 
into the body, and the intellectual triggers for those hormones.  the two go 
hand in hand for many things.  sometimes the intellectual is almost 
non-existent, and has only a trigger function (for example one brought on by 
human norms represented in society [i.e. fidelity])  fidelity is actually a 
great example.

your in a relationship.  this is a biological/intellectual/social structure 
that is constantly in motion.  when something happens that is intellectually 
, or socially dissatisfying (being unfaithful, for example), then that seems 
to trigger the release of hormones, which then in turn amplify those 
intellectual/social disturbances, and soon overpower, and annihilate what 
prinipled values the intellectual and social meta-architecture may contain 
with such complete effectiveness.


Where then does this principled person go?  do they cease to exist?  or 
simply check out of the principled hotel?

perhaps we can say that a principled person holds higher values.  love 
instead of anger. receptiveness instead of being close-minded.  The 
advantage that I see inthese are beneficial personally and socially if you 
hold yourself to them.  like karmic values.


anyhow, cutting it short. bed time.
