Just think how much effort is used just because we have hormones... How many more degrees would I have, or creations created, or successes in life reached if I hadn't been focused on women?
Life would be so much 'easier' if we joined a monastery/convent. 'Easier,' not necessarily better... Less pain, less tears, less heartache... But less joy, less happiness, less life.
To quote
"The Prophet;"
"But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. "
Time for an early glass of Bombay Sapphire and contemplation of the 'Boy/Girl' experience. Sometimes I'm very happy to be old...
