One could look at relationships as a game of riddles in the maze of human life. Those who actuallydecipher the riddles are the ones who are more likely to find true love. Even though one may succeed in deciphering the riddles of relationships, some people still have a hard time playing the game. One must make sure that he or she gets on the right path in the maze for there are many paths to choose.
This essay will attempt to discuss the different types of sexual relationships and the different types of people who live and dwell within the conducts of these relationships.
There is only one group of lucky people, from birth, who do get on the right path in the maze, and they find the right type of love and companion that they are looking for. This group of heterosexuals will be explained in more detail later in this essay.
Some not-so-lucky people start on the right path, but they feel an uncontrollable urge to stray away from the norm because they are unsure or confused about which way to go. These people feel it is necessary for them to seek out and try different paths in the maze. They know the difference between right and wrong, but they also, on a subconscious level, feel drawn to an alternative lifestyle, which suits the needs of their urges. Some of these people will like this path, some will tolerate this path without choice, and the rest will dislike this path. The people in this group may not even want to be like this but will eventually realize they have no choice in the matter. A genetically born curiosity, and an unknown desire for an eccentric and alternative lifestyle, will all but kill their innocence. These people had no control over the future of their life. To many, having the best of both worlds is better than having just one.
Some unlucky people start on the wrong path, and early on, they realize that they are going helplessly and uncontrollably in the wrong direction. These people will try their hardest to find the right path but never will. They know that they must give up the fight and allow their urges to control their actions and all aspects of their relationships. These unlucky people will find a tolerable compromise along the wrong path during their life-long trek through the maze of human relationships. The people in this group, if they strive to play the game of life, may be able to win a chance to live an unorthodox and happy life.
Some people will decide to openly and freely live their sexuality in the eyes of the public just as if they were like normal people with a traditional heterosexual relationship; they will refuse to stay locked in the closet. Out of secrecy, fear, and embarrassment, the rest of these people will insist on staying in the safety of the closet. One problem with staying in the closet is these people will more than likely accumulate a chest full of skeletons and secrets, which they will try to keep hidden in their closet. These people will feel a need to spend an inordinate amount of time and energy keeping their skeletons and lifelong secrets deeply hidden from all, and the lack of energy from all this continual mental drain could quickly bring them crashing down. The cost for these people could be considered too great and unbearable if their skeletons were to ever get out and their secrets were ever to become known. These people will have to be strong and on constant guard. These people would do anything to keep other people from gaining knowledge of their alternative sexuality as well as their alternative lifestyle. It is inevitable that some of these people will become too weak or too carefree, and find that they will become helplessly lost within themselves and start to lose track of their lies once they realize how difficult and tiring it will become as they continue fighting to keep their sexuality and their lifestyle a secret. It is said that only the strong shall survive and have what is right, but during this point in their life, weakness is a shortcoming that can be ill afforded for these people.
Few, but more people than we like to realize, either start on the right path, or start on the wrong path. Both groups purposely and sometimes unknowingly tend to make both right and wrong decisions to get to the type of relationship that they want and the type of relationship they feel they need. These relationships may be morally and socially wrong in the eyes of society, but as long as these people are happy with themselves, their partner, their life, and their sexuality, they will feel that they are just with their sexual decisions. This group of people should not care what people say or think of them because they have a right to live a happy life the same as everyone else.
