| Its not sad... to see people for their full potential.. naive, and over optimistic? sure... possibly even foolish. But I refuse to call it sad. I'm not sad. I've experienced the poverty of the genuine human encounter. Ive experienced the love that makes us poor, the love that subverts all extra-human assurances of security. Who is sad, is the person who is granted great potential, yet fails to live up to it. That is what I find truely heartbreaking.
This will be my last post.

| Alas, I speak of once undefiled, chaste christian brothers and sisters, now bound in he most vile and unholy of unions. Yes, those previously thought to be woven of the highest moral fiber. One loose thread and the entire tapestry becomes unwound.
my friends are really disapointing me.

| When the heart and mind are in conflict, the heart often wins. It seems that for many the heart is stronger then the mind. Our culture tells us to follow our heart. This is a romantic notion, and in many cases I share this view. However, when I honesting examine the human condition, I know that the heart can be deceptive and the mind often suffers because of hearts folly. Can we trust the mind? The mind can hold us back, but isn't that a defense created for our own survival? We know that a heart let to run wild often leads one to destruction.
The truth is, as un-romantic as it may seem, the mind should be there to lead the heart. It is there not to tame it, but to channel it's passion in such a way that would be benificial. The mind needs to be stronger to keep the heart in-line. The problem is, we over-induge our hearts, they become too strong, then then over take our minds. A un-restrained heart makes the mind its slave. The mind in a subordinate position is forced to do the hearts bidding without question. The mind will justify the heart in anyway the heart wishes. This is a dangerous situation and has been the ruin of many.
just some thoughts.
