I am a priest by choice. A choice that I made long ago in order to try and help mankind find some kind of peace, and to realize the true potential that they have, if only they would stop fighting with each other. I follow the rules that have been set down by the order that I have chosen, even when I don’t always agree with them, and I live with the consequences that choice has often brought to me.
However, being a priest and making the choice to follow those rules, doesn’t make me any less human. I have had thoughts of an impure nature for instance, and while they are only thoughts and the consequences were only to myself, there were still consequences.
You see, as has been stated before by others in response to this question, everything has consequences. Every word that we speak, every action that we take, every thought in our heads has some sort of consequence.
And perhaps, the feelings that we might have about nothing more than a thought can be the worst kind of consequence of all.
[ooc: I tried to get him to just answer the damn question. I even told him he could do it in a nice little ficlet and that it would be all private. However I can't get him to say that he would like to go out and get laid. Oh no, that isn't his style. So therefore you get this. My apologies and we'll do better next week.]
