One of the problems with the 70’s was that there were people who took the “If it feels good, do it” mentality and applied it to their marriages. Although the 70’s are long gone, there are still many people who adhere to the “If it feels good, do it!” mentality. The danger with this kind of thinking is that emotions begin to dictate reality rather than morals or laws. Those afflicted with the “If it feels good, do it” mindset allow their emotions and particularly the satisfaction of those feelings as more important than the other dimensions of their lives. To others, such persons are viewed as selfish. The selfish label fits in that their personal sensations are more important than any one else’s reactions or responses. Instead of right vs. wrong, in their thinking, the new choices become “does it feel good? v does it feel bad?” or “Is it fulfilling? versus Does it leave me feeling empty?”
Although the modern age often wants to cast aside morals in favor of sexual freedoms, there are reasons why certain acts and situations have been in disfavor for the centuries of man’s existence. Humans learned some lessons over the generations. Even though a modern generation may think itself smarter or more brillant than those of previous ages, casting aside morality in favor of self-gratification has disasterous effects on those around them and in suceeding generations.
