I don't know what society you are living in. If you believe you can do whatever you want, then speed in front of a police car, don't show up for work whenever you feel like it, go rob your local bank, etc. Just because a few misguided people think anything goes does not mean it is correct or wise. I will always put my faith in God regardless of what some people might say is right to do.

May God Bless you.

Would God use foolishness? Not really! But he can and does use what appears foolish to the world. He does so in order to save people who know and love him. Through its wisdom, the world cannot get to know God. Jesus Christ made this clear when he said in prayer: “Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you.”

Jesus’ words indicate that God's ways differ from those of the world. On the surface it may appear that God’s purpose and that of this world are running parallel to each other. It may seem that the aims of this world have God’s blessing. For instance, the Bible says that God would set up a righteous government that will bring life in peace, happiness, and prosperity to mankind on earth. (Isaiah 9:6, 7; Matthew 6:10) Likewise, the world trumpets its purpose to give people peace, prosperity, and good government by means of a so-called new world order. But God’s purposes and those of the world are not the same. God's purpose is to vindicate himself as the Supreme Sovereign of the universe. This he will do by means of a heavenly government that will obliterate all earthly governments. (Daniel 2:44) So God has nothing in common with this world. That is why the Bible speaks of two kinds of wisdom, “the wisdom of God” and “the wisdom of the world.”

To those not guided by the wisdom of God, the wisdom of the world seems impressive. There are lofty-sounding worldly philosophies that captivate the mind. Thousands of institutions of higher learning impart information from what many consider the greatest minds of mankind. Extensive libraries are replete with the accumulated knowledge of centuries of human experience. Despite this, however, the new world order that worldly rulers propose could only be a rule by imperfect, sin-stained, dying men. Hence, that order would be imperfect, repeating many past blunders and never satisfying all of mankind’s needs.

Only God's Government that Jesus talked about can bring peace to the Earth, that is why each one of us must be faithful to God in order to reap the reward.

Free will is very important. It is so important that the Almighty was willing to die rather than limit it. However, when we choose evil, we are placing our being on the side of the adversary. If you lie and cheat, you will be consumed with those who do. If you choose to live righteously, and keep your promises, you will have a reward in the earth made new, and will hear those fantastic words, "well done good and faithful servant".... Read THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES by Gary Chapman. It helps to clarify. in short Love divided is love subtracted. The Almighty gave us a great gift in sex love and marriage. If you separate it, you destroy it.

To be faithful is to be trustworthy. Besides being unfaithful is a good way to pick up some nasty germs. You've also heard the term, " What comes around will go around " which means whatever you put out there will eventually come back to you.
Society isn't always too smart, maybe just fashionable.

I don't mind if you do not want be faithful to some one. It is your free will and no other should be bothered about that. If you want to be faithful to some one, it is the same free will of yours; no else should get bothered about that. But people tend to be faithful to faithfuls only.

Faithful to who (or what)? Actually, society expects you to follow time-tested rules for getting along with other people, including living up to any promises you made, not just to do whatever you want. Have you ever heard the phrase, "No man is an island, entire unto to himself"?

And what you want to do should be what is right.

Right action is something you do based feelings that come from love, kindness and joy.

Negative destructive action comes from fear.

Trace your desires back their root and make your choice accordingly.
