Values and Morality: A Decline

I was driving home with my family last night when my wife tuned in to Magic 89.9. It’s was around 10pm and my son has already fallen asleep in my wife’s arms so it was safe to listen to Slick Rick, Toni toni and Sam YG they are the host of Magic 89.9’s late show “Boys Night out! I remember this caller last night a girl who just came home from “The land down Under” (That’s Australia to you!), who has a problem about her friend. She’s been in love with this friend of hers for a long, long time. She moved to Australia a few years back and stayed there awhile. When she returned she hooked up with this friend of hers and pretty much something “happened” to them. The problem is she doesn’t know if the guy loves her, and here’s the kicker She said and I quote “I’ll continue to do it with him, if it means seeing him.” OH my God! That girl just told that guy on air that she’s willing to do it with him, any time as long as the guy will continue to see her. Question: If you were the guy she’s talking about, and you happen to be listening to the same radio program at the same time she’s on air. What will you think about? It’s impossible not to recognized the girl’s voice, specially when she keeps giving clues about her identity like, she just came back from another country, they last did “it” last Saturday..etc, I bet if that guy is listening he’d be doing his own version of Tom Cruise’s “couch incident”. I feel bad for the girl, specially when she said that she’s not sure it the guy has feelings for her. I agree on the boys’ advice to her. Talk to guy, lay down your cards and ask him to take it slow. I say good advice. If I were giving the girl advice I would tell her to ask the guy point blank if he loves her. If he said “No”, Slap his face with the force to crack marble and stay away from him…ever! If he said “Yes”. Ask him to prove it. try not to engage in something erotic for about a month and try to get to know each other more and let faith run its course.

“Sigh” I’m not a holy rolly person, but sometimes hearing about this kind of problem from a woman, make me want to take the woman and slap some sense into her. Are young people that desperate to have sex these days, that they’re willing to give up their dignity to someone who are not sure if they even have feelings for each other? I’m sorry if I sound like a priest here, but sometimes it’s just too much. If it’s a “one night stand” I’ll understand, if it’s a fling…….maybe. But saying that you’ll continue to sleep with someone just so because it’s the only way for that person to give you his/her attention has got to be the most idiotic thing to say. Sex is not, and never will be the answer to a relationship’s success, not unless your married then, sex is a part of it, but married couples sex lives is part of the marriage, but women, nor men should be forced to do it. But in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship sex should never be a factor, It really shouldn’t. But at today’s time and age, premarital sex is a factor. It’s sad really, morals and values are being thrown out the window and most of the time it leads to broken hearts, unwanted pregnancies and sometimes……….suicidal tendencies. I hope the girl can talk to guy and try to straighten their relationship out. Otherwise it’s just better for her not to see him anymore.
