Excessive indulgence

I feel as if what’s going on to me isn’t fair; so much so that I’m terrified when I think about what’s happening. There never really was such a thing, or time, known as the “good times”; that was just an illusion, and people manipulated the phrase to make it describe what’s not supposed to be inherent to goodness. In honesty, eithics should come before health. So stop fooling around. I also think it’s unethical, or at least immoral, to engage in indulgence, especially when it’s excessive. Making love to people generally doesn’t meet such criteria, as despite being healthy, it’s unethical. We indulge in just about everything that we come across; for example, sweets, electronics, entertainment, and in some situations even violence. I’ve been tempted to the extreme to do all of these but somehow I make it without indulging. But start living in a world w/out these luxuries, and you will essentially not survive. I doubt that it’s alright to pursue more happiness or pleasure from things as is necessary. We indulge. but do we ever learn that, after examining ourselves deep within, we don’t necessarily deserve it? Before I decide about seeking any form of pleasure, I’m certainly aware of how unethical people are in general. For example, strict parents or family enforcing unnecessary rules. A more specific example is when parents are too strict and enforce religion even on adults, thereby taking away their freedom. Atheists and Religious folks are both wrong in my opinion, because to be a “perfect” person, you should take advice from each party. Each party has its own benefits, and I strive to live a balanced life. I realize that if there were times in life when I sought excessive pleasure that there was always what seemed like a “presence” telling me to think more often, and better. Life isn’t simply about pleasure; it’s also about what’s unpleasant. We enjoy thinking about pleasure, but in the end, we aren’t ready for unpleasant moments, and while we might be good at having pleasure or happiness, we refuse to think about how much we really deserve it. Why did we come to a world like this?! We should’t tolerate anyone who’s unethical, because they have pretty much all that they want.
