Spiritual Consequences of Being Sexually Active Sex is giving the gift of yourself to another person. The sexual self has a spiritual nature. Sex without spirituality: • Involves basic animal instincts rather than love • Does not acknowledge the deep desire to love and be loved • Can make people suspicious of the world and future relationships • Can cause suffering through emotional and spiritual harm • Allows people to be used and treated as objects • Does not respect the dignity of the human person Copyright © Wondershare Software
Three Kinds of Friendship • Utilitarian: you are friends with a person for what they can give you. • Common Interest: you are friends because you share an interest (eg. sport, music ) • The Good of the Other: you seek the best for the other person, you don’t want bad things to happen to them and you put their needs before your own.
