Humans are highly intelligent beings capable of feeling "love" toward solely one person, but that doesn't mean that having feelings or desires toward other people is wrong. People can feel love or desire for more than one, and this actually falls in line with most of nature. There's nothing wrong about it.
Greed is what has led to the idea that relationships should always be strict contracts. It ruins everything in our world.
I've been deeply hurt in the past by women, and I've, as well, hurt women emotionally, but, even now, I wish we could've ended up as "friends," and not have lost contact over perceived "violations" to a "relationship contract" that obviously didn't fit our actual relationships at the time.
This world is lonely and cruel; there are some people you won't ever want to be around due to lack of basic loyalty and goodwill, but there are others that deserve to stay as "friends," even if they aren't loyal or attentive to you in the way you would want. People we've had relationships with could very well fit that description, if not for our jealousy. (BTW, the reason I'm placing quotation marks around friends/friendship is because I'm skeptical these concepts exist in the form we're taught.)
I found the person, the love, I was looking for, yet, when I stare out into this cruel world every day, I wish I would've maintained peace with the women from my past. This world's too terrible to nitpick. I suppose that's part of the reason why I connect so deeply with Haruki Murakami's "Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage."
There were even a few guys who were my "friends" who deserved for me to fight for their "friendship," even if I thought they weren't 100% loyal. I regret that, too. Friendship in the way I envisioned it doesn't exist in this world, but that doesn't mean I need to cast out the entire world or let it cast me out, either.
No one deserves to be discriminated against over being human.
