The Box

February 18th, 2003

The Box

The emotional state is a difficult thing to try and justify when it is spawned from impairing forms of either extreme, good or bad.  Making choices based upon time and reason seems to be a lost art form amongst today's population.  This is reinforced ten-fold regarding matters of intimacy and relations.  So many choose to jump into a trust for lack of something better to do, that I really begin to understand why couples do not last longer than five years, and that's being kind with the total. 

Two weeks ago, my grandfather died.  My grandparents had just celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary a few months prior, and it's always going to be a constant reminder that we can always keep something like a relationship alive if we could just get past our own bullshit...

Although, half the time, it's not even our own bullshit...

 It's something called social status, and its purpose is for the wealthy core of the population to use as a weapon to essentially zombify those below them, making them envious and sparkle-eyed.  This is nothing more than a kindergarten lunch money heist, just played out in Carnegie Hall scale.  Now, had this skinpuppet display been a domestic issue and nothing more, it would have been squashed years ago.  However, this is an international occurrence, and it has been this way for ages.  All of it contributes to our impulsive actions, yet all of it is a poison to said actions.  Unfortunately, that poison is our heritage, and our heritage isn't much.

There are those who argue that over-thinking is a bad thing, but I think that if a decision cannot be reached about any given subject, that decision is more important than what you'll have for dinner, or what porno you're going to pop in soon after.

Today, if a person really gets you to think, it's more rare (thus, much more of a turn-on), than anal sex in 6th grade.  If you have someone like that around you, this column was written with you as the target audience in mind.  Forget mass-marketed love holidays, and an insanely dull, mimic-prone civilization.  Keep the ones who make you think around you.  Despite the many turns life takes, which allows the decision-making process to become that much more difficult (as I can currently attest to), the knowledge of you making the right choice about something based on pure feeling and reason combined is something I wish upon everyone.

Such a change could save our lives one day, and if that means not "going for it" when you're wide-open to make a pass at a gorgeous woman (out of respect or due to her already being involved), I think we could all live with that.  Happily ever after.
