Scarlet letter
I usually dont mind being forced into reading some novel in school that a bunch of liberal editors so carefully labeled, "good education material", regardless of the tasteless bile it vomited into my mind, for i could usually "read but not read". (meaning, i read the words and answer the questions, but didn't let it's immoral teachings consume me). But this novel, the one labeled The Scarlet Letter in beautiful cursive letters on the front, is probably the worst of the worst. Trying to teach us young women that adultery is something to be proud of.
There is no case to cheat. Never, absolutly no excuse. Marriage is a sacred bond that only the worst, most heartless cowards would dare to intentionally break. I realize that they're are cases when marriage is no longer appropriate (for example abuse or neglegence to an alarming degree) but how about get some nerve and get a divorce, not turn into a whore and sleep with someone else?? It ruins your child's life more to sleep with someone else during marriage then to get a divorce. Your child can't respect you if you are an adulterer. And if you're own child can respect you, how can any other soul?
It's a bunch of garbage that is not only way too lengthy (even for someone like myself who likes a good challenge in a book) and its just plain bad, to be honest [which im good at:) ]
I'm so glad i'm almost done...in the famous words of a man i admire very much (about this book) "You could give a parrot a typewriter and it would write a better book". Amen to that.

morals are good, but never judge until you have walked in the shoes of another
i have never cheated but I think there are many situations that might merit it.

Nah. Cheating is too cowardly. I say cowardice is never the right choice.
why is it cowardly?
wrong yes, cowardly I don't know. Until I know the motivations of the cheater. Many things could prompt that, in a perfect place there would be no reason for it but I believe that often times it might be motivated by a unfilled need of some kind.
anyway
just my take

Because you are going behind someones back. You dont even have the guts to tell them you want it to be over. Its so easy to go behind someones back, know why? so is being a coward. Thats why doing whats right is so damn hard sometimes.
i hated that book too. Only because it was written in such a challenging way. I read it on my own tho. Only made it half way before i was sick.
