"A past is where lessons are learnt, and a future is where they are implemented. My past like everyone else's has taught me a few valuable things." Turning on her feet, she stared at the man whom now sat across the room. Taking a moment to dissect his words, she replied.

"Then, can learning from someone else's past be considered a lesson learnt?" With his left ankle resting on his right knee cap, right cheek resting in the palm of his right hand. The man analyzed the little woman before him. 

'What a peculiar little thing'  he thought. 

"In a unethical kind of a way.....I guess you can say that. But, is it truly a lesson learnt when you have not experience it personally. For all you know, you could be drawing at straws. The emotions, thoughts and actions of the person in that moment, only belongs to them.  Therefore your prospective of the situation is from a bystander's point of view. With that being the situation can you say that you have honestly learn from such a situation."

Adora was of course left to think over his words, which did present a solid argument. Could she truly learn from a situation with such complexities added. Mistakes are made base  upon an individual's  prospective of a situation. For no one situation or outcome is the same, or even ideal for everyone. People learn different things and different ways to do these things, different ideas, attitudes, emotions, thoughts and consequences are derived from these facts. While one's ideas may be the same the process that led to such ideas are of totally different experiences, which in return leads up to that one point in time.

With this in mind Adora could now see the flaw in her thought and had to agree with the man before her.

"I have never thought of it in such a way, but thinking of it in that way changes the perception of my view on the matter. But while this may be true, it does not dismiss the fact that you are far more acquainted with the teachings of promiscuity." 

Thiuderieks was a bit offended by her words, not because they were rude but because they held truth to them. He had indulge in the cravings of his sexuality, more times than he would like to admit . And that too completely at the mercy of his beast. Though this is true, it was far from an excuse, but more so admittance to himself. Hypocrisy was something he loathe and therefore would not assume that role. Therefore being honest to admit his wrong doings. And though he now frowns upon the idea he had at several points in life  succumbed to the pleasures of the flesh. This was a fact and the truth, so who was he to chastise anyone for their own cravings, even his woman. In light of the circumstances however he much liked the fact that his other half had remain pure, a very rare and precious gift to be given in the modern world.

"Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows." He mused and how right he was, for that was one of the many lessons learnt from his past.
