The whole notion with the Matrix thought the other day made me think about this discussion I had in my ethics class. My tutor asked us if we would sleep with someone for one million dollars. The situation being that you were newlywed with the "one" in your life, which you loved more than anything in the world. Her view was that if you truly loved someone, you would never sleep with anyone else, no matter how much money was involved. What really suprised me was that out of 30 ppl in the class, 28 agreed with her... Ok, how much can you actually deceive yourself?? Just think about it. Of course, given the question when there is no chance whatsoever that it will ever happen for real, it is too easy to become all morale and decent and say 'of course not, you would never have done it'. But, if you did find you self in such as situation, with the money there in front of you, are dare you to tell me you wouldn't have done it.

The thing is, how many out there haven't at least one ended up in bed with someone they later on rather would have liked to erase from their memory whatsoever? So, there's no question about it, most of us have been giving it away for free at least once to someone we didn't love. Ok, so there is the aspect of receiving money for it, which may make us feel as prostitutes. Yes, that's true. But, on the other hand, one million dollars is a lot of money. 200 dollars may make you feel like a prosititute, but one million dollars would be plain stupd to refuse. One shag, and you and your loved one can be debt-free for the rest of your life! A house, a car, your kids education, everything solved... So, tell me, wouldn't you have done it? I reckon that if your loved one did not want you to do it, then you really do deserve to struggle for the rest of your life. One shag is nothing, but being financial secure for the rest of your life is something.
