So, right -- somewhere down the line, talking about sex and love, Mel asked me what this whole 'Steve' thing was about. Yeah, it was an interesting train of ideas. But anyways, since the topic of names came up, and I actually feel very strongly (some would say TOO strongly) about the subject, AND since I was interested in getting other people's opinions on the whole thing -- I decided to post it all here.

Discourse on Temperance

Putting off my paper again (it's OK, it's not due for a week now) I take some time to think.

I'm a firm believer in self-control and temperance, and believe it's a tribute to the greatness of mandkind that we can resist our basic urges -- that is, the urge to seek pleasure and avoid pain. I was recently presented with this simple, one sentence argument: pleasure is not a bad thing. And I must say, I have to agree -- if I claimed that pleasure were a bad thing, it would mean we shound necessarily avoid it, which is not my stance. So how does one reconsile the fact that pleasure is a good thing with the idea that it must not be sought after indiscriminately?
