I'm no philosopher.
I'll never make my own definitions of the complexities in life. That'll be too exhausting for my tiny brain. I've read in books the definitions of sin, and I discussed with a friend about his definition of it. Honestly, I am left much more confused than I was before the discussion.
A sin is doing something God forbids, and/or not doing something God orders you to do, according to The Poet.
A sin is something you do, and you're scared that somebody will find out about it, according to my highschool teacher.
A sin is violating an agreement with another party, according to a friend.
A sin always means making a mistake, but a mistake is not necessarily a sin, according to all three.
I'll just admit it, by any definition, what I do with you is a sin.
But until the last day of dear life, I'll never be able to admit that it is a mistake. Because to me, it simply isn't.
That's what I think of, dearest, when I first lay down next to you, holding your head against my pounding heart. A sin is a sin, but how could loving you be a mistake?
You see, that is how confused a tiny-brained woman can be.
I couldn't agree more on this. Why is it that all enjoyable things are considered sinful?? How unfair!!! Can't we do something we love without feeling the slighest guilt?
