How Would You Describe Your Nature?

Question by The Good Fight: How would you describe your nature?
Have you ever studied yourself? How would you describe your nature relative to desire? For instance, do you find yourself gravitating towards things that are ultimately destructive to you?

Examples: Smoking. Alcoholism. Drug abuse. Sexual deviations. Excessive eating. Adulterous relationships. Greed.

When you consider yourself do you find that you don’t have much trouble avoiding excesses.

Lastly, if you are able to avoid a vast majority of the excesses that one might be able to engage in…in this life….do you still find that there’s that one thing about your own personal nature that you fight with so much more than others or would you be able to admit that you’re pretty doggone perfect regarding excesses.

Cause I see fat people out there. I see skinny people out there. The fat person you can kind of guess what they struggle with….yet that skinny person….what’s their struggle? Nothing?

I know someone whom I love who’s really thin and has no problem with overeating. He prefers crack cocaine.

What’s your nature like?

    You omitted ‘in the final stages of senile dementia’.

    female…geek

    I gravitiate towards things of a …nerdy….nature.

    Comics and Batman-emblemed handbags match my roseberry lipstick and curled blonde bangs.

    Its been suggested to me that by being a female into “boys toys” makes me…less of a woman.

    One “well-meaning friend” suggested that I was harboring psychological problems related to never having sisters…riiiggghhtt. That my knowledge of comic lore was destructive to my womanhood.

    So I took her into my room, where a hot poster of Poison Ivy draped my wall opposite my Transformers toys and Marvel action figures.

    I’m not sure how destructive sexual deviations are. Let’s see here now. I smoke. I’m having a shot of straight Jameson whiskey as I type. I’m not an alcoholic these days though. Whoever said once an alcoholic always an alcoholic is a filthy liar.

    I think drug abuse means flushing them down the toilet. I don’t do that!

    I am a cerebral sexual deviant.

    I eat too much junk food, and I’m trying to curb that.

    I’m pretty faithful, but my nature makes my eyes wander occasionally. I think fidelity is a wonderful virtue, as is the dedication of love towards one individual, but why only one? Something I else I’m working on. I’m not a cheater though.

    I’m not a greedy person in most cases. I am a very greedy person if I’m playing poker, but I also don’t attach too much meaning to money.

    I am in nature a man in celebration of vice. Virtue is great, but only in moderation as I feel too much is destructive. I need to live a bit healthier, but I watch my step. As far as being destructive, my body will self destruct nonetheless. I can prolong the inevitable, and that’s all fine and good, but I will not compromise the quality of my life, to save my life, when life is temporal anyhow. We are all consigned to the grave. How long you live is nowhere near as important as how well you live.

    I’m climbing to the top of mind in order to leap from it to the next mountain one qualude at a time.
