    so where do you draw the line and factor in what society says is wrong/right? using your philosophy, one can justify many murderers and violent sexual offenders (think violent rapists, pedophiles...).

    As a matter of fact, I would argue that all intelectual society is based on surpassing the 'natural' instincts of immediate self-gradification.

    When a fool is given rules he feels imprisoned, while the wise man has rules as the ring on his finger.

    This is in the Bible somewhere (maybe stated in differently and in different words, but the meaning is the same).
