We live by the choices we make

Action & consequences: to get into a relationship, to wreck the relatonship you're already in- to make a choice when one is faced with a temptation. "Just say no" sounds familiar? It is, after all, a choice. When at a crossroad, one has to choose which path to take. I do believe that the choice is easy when one is rational & guided by a moral compass (obscure or otherwise).

What am I rambling about? A "Ms J" e-mailed a local TV/radio station to talk about her affair with an 18-year old. She is a 32-year old mother of 6 and cites the excuse of 'husband-neglect' to get into the affair... and that she is in the process of getting a divorce from her husband. Husband, having found out of the affair, is wooing her back with material things & attention.

My 2 cents? Silly excuse, get over yourself woman! That boy is practically a child to her. Of course physically he would appear mature but mentally he is not equipped to make a decision. What about her 6 children? What about them? Get a divorce, they sever themselves from their biological father. Apart from him being a workaholic, what other faults does he have, I wonder... Does he beat her and the children up? Did he not provide for them? Lonely wife, busy husband... reason to get into an affair? Get yourself a project woman! Turn your children into geniuses, why don't you- that'll will give her some work to do... I wonder how they're doing, with mommy gallivanting around town with a younger man?

Are people looking for love at the wrong places? Can't we find happiness within ourselves? What are we after, really?
