Personally, I think it was done in The Way as a sort of slight of hand...create an illusion. You put that strict directive to be celibate together with the idea of never thinking evil of your brother ....it opens all kinds of windows of opportunity for the less-than-faithfull adherents of the doctrine.

The alpha male cat in a given geographical area can somehow sense whether recently born kittens are his own offspring. If they are not, he will (sometimes) kill them. No one knows why he will do this but one theory is that he is trying to preserve his own gene pool. Another theory is that, with their demise, the mother cat will go back into heat sooner, making her available again.

We like to think we are somehow superior to all the other creatures that roam the planet. In some basic ways, we are really no different. We are fiercely territorial and driven by the same basic needs as all the other animals. We're just better at disguising it and rationalizing it with philosophical rhetoric.

Muddy Waters summed it up pretty well when he said, the same thing that makes a makes a bulldog hug a hound, makes a preacher lay his Bible down...."The whole world's fightin' about that same thing."

In a world where technology is constantly changing at break-neck speed, one thing that actually remains constant is the primary nature of man. Monogamy, and its preservation, has been and will continue to be a major driving factor in civilized cultures, according to the opinions of sociologists.

When I was in FellowLaborers, in the mid 1970s, premarital sex among program participants was strictly forbidden. People were immediately dismissed from the program upon being found out. Years later, here on GSC, I discovered the hypocrisy that was going on, simultaneously, at the upper levels of TWI. It's so much easier to understand all this when you finally accept that the whole thing was a sham. It was NEVER some sort of noble endeavor, despite the fact that it's embarrassing to admit we were duped.
