Is Infidelity Natural?

The truth is there are plenty of people on television, in magazines, or giving seminars, including celebrities, psychologists, and people "of a higher calling", willing to sell you their ideas on how to make relationship's work.  Unfortunately, they all sell a different flavor of the same thing; false hope.

Interestingly enough, with all of these individuals offering solutions to the problems in your relationships, the divorce rate in America has and continues to remain at a steady fifty percent.  And our advice giving friends, the psychologists, enjoy the highest divorce rate among their peers in the medical profession.

So what's the point?  People are people.  They are the way they always have been, and always will be.  Unfaithful.  There is no more a solution to this problem than there is to the problem of people killing each other.  It's just human nature.  If animals have behavioral flaws, we try to breed away those flaws.  So now we have killer bees.  With humans, we try to eliminate the flaws with drugs or psychology.  And surprise, surprise, people lie and cheat just as much as they always have.

So what's the lesson you should take away from this?  Can you figure it out?
