Loss of Innocence "A lover, in obedience to a quite uncalulating impulse, which may be full of good will as well as of desire and need not be forgetful of God, embraces his beloved, and then, quite innocently, experiences a thrill of sexual pleasure." C.S. Lewis, "The Problem of Pain...page 70-71. Once within moments of temptation I gave in to my desire, wanting to fulfill the needs, that wanton lust requires. Later the rush to lust seemed foolish and made little sense. So goes the loss of innocence. "But the second embrace may have that pleasure in view, may be a means to an end, may be the first downward step towards the state of regarding a fellow creature as a thing, as a machine to be used for his pleasure. Thus the bloom of innocence, the element of obedience and the readiness to take what comes is rubbed off every activity."...C.S.Lewis" "The Problem of Pain...page 70-71 JamesLee 26November 2006 [This message has been edited by JamesMichael (11-27-2006 05:47 PM).] |

We are all on a Path of evolution and desire is part of it. A sense of innocence remains always alive when we combine the sexual pleasure with true Love. May other men hear your voice, dear James. Love, Margherita |
