can't use their brain..only their collective "Egos"to the destruction of our society.
More than four decades later (and two after Dad died), I can still remember a talk he had to me at about age 14.
"Son," he said, "I know you are getting to the age where you will be experiencing some strong feelings and changes in your body, if you haven't already. This will especially be true when you are around girls. But remember this: God gave man sufficient blood circulation to supply either his brain or his dick, but never at the same time. Until you are with the girl you are married to and plan to spend the rest of your life with, never allow your brain to be completely shut down, not even for a little while. If you ever find yourself in a situation when the shutdown is happening, get away quickly."
Dad's advice was excellent. There were a few dates which I went on and found that brain shutdown thing was indeed happening. I cut them short and even in a couple of cases, ended them abruptly.
Yeah, it was a little embarrassing at the time. In a few cases, it was even embarrassing enough that I couldn't bring myself to even talk to the girl again. But when I found the one I wanted to marry, it was well worth it. The number of people you can trust to be around when your brain shuts down are few and rare. And probably the only one you can trust unequivocally in that situation is the one you marry.
The frequency of these "close encounters" may have diminished with the years, but the passion has not.
That’s great advice. I’m going to have to save it for when my boy needs it.
“The number of people you can trust to be around when your brain shuts down are few and rare.”
I’m writing that one down and passing it on.
My brain shuts down for good food, if I followed that advise I would starve to death :)
Great post.
