    contrary to your belief, moral compass does not come from genetics - it comes
    from experience


    wrong. it comes from both genetics & experience

    many people have experience but their genetic urges are simply too strong to pacify let alone control.

    what?

    the last sentence makes no sense whatsoever in relation to the previous two.

    biological (animalistic) urges may be a factor in the obfuscation of a particular moral compass, but they certainly do not create it.
    the moral compass is transcendent of biological factors, as it is the domain of the mind (no, not the brain or DNA)
    also it is interesting to note that that someone who is celibate for 26years can be so not "on top of everything" and still run-of the-mill, at times

    what is the benefit of a monastery except to break ingrained akusala old habits?
    read the biographies of theravada monks - the breaking of these habits is by no means always instantaneous, and requires work.
