Many things are forbidden to people through different beliefs, religions, laws and policies. People also have individual or family beliefs that set boundaries for their life for things that are forbidden or wrong. These beliefs are generally regarded as our moral values.
Different religions have rituals and beliefs that set them apart from each other. People who believe in a certain religion follow those beliefs, teachings, and foundations to honor their God, leaders and cultural beliefs. Some beliefs are common among religions but forbidden to others such as alcohol. Cultures and religions that allow alcohol to be prevalent in society expose that temptation to minorities living within it. So, an individual whose beliefs are not to partake in alcohol may have the desire to try it as they see and hear from others what it is like.
Laws are set to protect people to make things forbidden to us as individuals, but again these laws are different depending on the country or culture in which we live. If people disobey the laws of that state, they are disciplined accordingly. As briefly detailed, there are many ways in which things are forbidden, but it does not mean that they are not desirable.
Some examples of things that are forbidden but are desirable:
In this country drugs have different classifications that determine whether they are legal or not. A drug that may be illegal in this country does not mean that it has that classification in another country. Therefore, people see the use of a certain drug in another country is desirable, but they know that it is forbidden in this country.
In some countries it is forbidden to have more than one wife or husband, but in other cultures this practice is acceptable. This practice is more common in the countries that is not allowed rather than the countres that they allowed it. For instance, in Kurdistan, at first, the government decided to not allowed bigamy or polygamy, but after a while, the government regret from its rule for that because they see that this practice will rise up step by step as a result of forbiding. So, they removed that rule from the Kurdistan. Although, men could have a right to have more than one wife in Kurdistan, this practice goes to be less than as compared to that time when it was not allowed by the government. Therefore, we can see that people might do it because of their hatred to the government. For example, most of the people disobey to that rule because they said we have more important problems than bigamy or polygamy to solve that the government should solve instead of them such as corruption, theifing the fortune of Kurdistan by the leaders, and rebuild our land. For example, there was a man in Ranya, he was get marry with a second woman at the time of forbidden, so the government arrested him. Then, he called to the court the gudge has asked him, why you did that? Before he answered him, he has asked the judge, why don't you call the thiefers in the governmetn to stop corruption instead of arresteing me? So, we can see that sometimes people break the rules just because of their hatred to the government, or for being famous. That guy was very brave when he get marriage twice because he was sure that he'll be arrest. He got to be famous by writting some articles about him, or publishing his picture in the newspapers because at the end of the trail he has told the judge that I'll do it only because of two reasons. First, my hatred for the government. Second, I would like to see myself in a newspapers and medias!
I know that stealing is not right therefore it is forbidden for me to do it. The next person, however, could know that it is forbidden, but does it because they get pleasure from doing it, or they are in financial difficulties that make them desperate to do it. Through different media (news or movies) we see people who are financially secure but have a desire to steal for the excitement and challenge involved in doing it.
To sum up, even if we view something as forbidden and undesiriable, it does not mean that the next person sees it the same way. We are individuals with choices in life, and it is up to us to be satisfied with our personal choices.
