In the spur of the moment

Many things are done in the spur of the moment and we tend to regret it for a very long time. It does not involve kerosene and a match on a roof or a kitchen knife across someone's throat or a nail and a hammer and someone else's eyeball but something less serious but nonetheless hurtful. I am talking about infidelity. In the spur of the moment, the action taken may seem so trivial but the consequences are indescribable and downright hurtful that is enough to make you regret for a long long time. I do emphatize with both the victims, yes, both of them are victims to consequence. Infidelity, stereotypically speaking, often occur with the man being found guilty, awaiting death sentence with his head on the guillotine. I, on the other hand have experienced the reverse situation whereby the lady is the guilty one and I will not state who out of respect for her reputation or what's left of it. The people that I know are not all that bad and yes, maybe some of us have been labelled 'playboys', ok, everyone in the group that I hang out with ARE labelled playboys but how far is it true? We may be a little bit of a philanderer but besides being a little bit more crafty with our words, we rarely do wrong to the people that we are with.
People may say things like "You deserve it." or "He who plays with fire gets burned". It may be true but there are times when guys become a little vulnerable and falls victim to emotions. Rationale no longer holds control and when emotions takes over, it is usually when the wrongdoings of 'spur of the moment' happens. It may stem from true feelings or purely infactuation but what has been done has been done and when it cannot be saved, we will have to face the music, be it the guillotine, be it the gas chamber, be it the steamroller, let it come and when it is over, there will be a new beginning.
