Lust is one of humanity’s most primitive instincts.
When it is not controlled by the power of the mind,
it becomes a destructive force that threatens not only the individual but also society.
Foolishness meaning the refusal to use reason removes the barriers that could restrain lust.
The result: People enslaved by uncontrollable desires.
The End of the Fool Enslaved by Lust
History and forensic reports both reveal this truth: Most perverted killers are prisoners of their lust.
*Sigmund Freud emphasized that unchecked libido can lead to social destruction.
*Carl Jung argued that unrestrained impulses turn into the dark shadow that drives a person to commit crimes.
*Criminologist Cesare Lombroso identified in many criminal profiles the combination of “excessive sexual drives and low mental control.”
Thus, foolishness is not merely the absence of thought; it is often the prelude to dangerous crime.
Why Doesn’t a Smart Person Cheat?
Cheating is, most of the time, the product of a lack of intelligence. The fool surrenders to impulse and places short term pleasure above long term values.
The intelligent person knows that loyalty is not only a moral choice but also a rational one. When trust collapses, relationships collapse; and when relationships collapse, life itself becomes poisoned.
*The fool is defeated by desire.
*The intelligent person masters desire.
*The fool sacrifices long-term peace for a few minutes of pleasure.
*The intelligent person builds a life aligned with values.
That is why cheating is not only a moral downfall but also a mental weakness. Most cheaters are fools, because they trade their future for a moment of lust.
The Hidden Fuel of Psychopathy
When the mind is not strong, lust runs wild.
*Passion turns into obsession.
*Desire suppresses conscience.
*Pleasure replaces meaning.
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s warning is striking here: “A person who loses meaning binds themselves unchained to their desires; and in the end, they chain society as well.”
Without the Power of the Mind, Danger Is Inevitable
In mindless hands, lust creates a monster. But when guided by the power of the mind, the same energy can transform into creativity, love, productivity, and art. As Nietzsche said: “Do not be a slave to your passions, but their master who transforms them.”
Fools have more lust because they lack thought, measure, and conscience.
And this unrestrained drive not only diminishes the individual; it often turns them into a psychopath who harms society.
