Adultery (from Latin adulterium) is extramarital sex that is considered objectionable on social, religious, moral, or legal grounds and is a sin along with other forms of illicit sex. It is voluntary sexual intercourse between a (married) person and a person who is not his or her spouse. It is shunned by all religions and disallowed in all the major religions of world. It is construed as destroyer of families, relationships and happiness thereby spreading a vice to negatively affect the concerned.
We should say no to adultery because our focus should be marriage and our spouse and children. Sex cannot take away our lives from love, companionship, care, liking and respect. Sex has been promoted as a goal most desired by vested interests like the Media, Hotel, Tourism, Sports, Movies, Prostitution, Advertising and others for their own survival and it is today a multi-billion dollar industry with millions of participants championing it and convincing that marriage and love are unfashionable, outdated, non-working and not needed.
God has created life so that we build societies that are monogamous. But what we see today is just the opposite. Polygamous societies, relationships that are sinful like the open relationships, prostitution, fornication, adultery and so on. These changes that appear so easy to digest to many are actually nails in the coffin. Because if people stop living as families, do not produce children, spread vice, do not treat each other with dignity it will all amount to a massive built up of "Negative Karma," which will bounce back on them.
Adultery is the mother of many ills that are eating up the world today and I have mentioned that many times before. Destroying marriages, broken families, poor childhoods, poverty, alcoholism, drugs, poor humanity and others to mention are but a few of its direct and indirect consequences. Live-ins and Common Law arrangements are also adultery and the governments would do well to scrap them off for the greater good. Sex has been made the priority of masses but actually love and care, companionship and trust are the real needs that need to be looked into by people.
We are free to perform actions as we deem fit but not of the consequences thereof. Hence we should be sensitive and careful in performing our duties, for most of what we do cannot be recovered. Life has dos and don'ts and if you fiddle with that you will have to pay in the ceaseless cycle of birth and death. Better to live a pure, simple and helping life than to live an indulgent one, one that has been shunned in all the holy books.
It should be borne in mind that true love and marriage are irreplaceable gifts of God that would be wise not to trample with and adultery is a momentary thrill that can never take its place. Would you ever give up a lifetime of happiness for a temporary pleasure?
Adultery is debauchery while sex within marriage is love-making. Choice is yours.
