It is not selfish or immoral, but it is weak. To allow any desires or urges to control us, rather than us control them, is weakness. Except lust. Lust is fun. :wink:

1.Just watch out.

2. Hurting yourself is immoral, becauseit leads to extinction. Better to restore chemical balance in brain back to normal and enoy life again.
 
Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
