I share these sentiments, and have done so all of my long and barely eventful life. To associate this clarity and wisdom with the image you share with us strangers is a pleasure for right and wrong reasons. Think of the right ones only….

Minna,Thank you for sharing such wisdom. You are spot on; everything, at its root, is energy and how we direct it creates and shapes our lives. I don't always find it easy to communicate that to people who just want to know how to stop getting into painful places. I love your "charity work" analysis. It works.I'm your fan, too.Cynthia

Absolutely. And further, beyond thinking whether we're a rare or common find in the eyes of others: One approach is that sexual energy is precisely that: energy, something that can be used for all kinds of purposes very productively (e.g., in a loving relationship, to create a wonderful intimate connection; or, channelled, e.g. though yoga or sports or arts). The bottom line: it's our precious commodity, asset — do we just want to waste that on whomever we happen to fancy in late hour in a bar? Do we want to that kind of "charity work", just mindlessly spend it? It's no wonder sex addiction, gambling, and other addictions are closely related.Many thanks, Cynthia. I love your highly observant and well written, somewhat minimalist, yet always to-the-point, concrete, no-nonsense posts about what I'd call spiritual life in its very concrete form: in the everyday dilemmas we face in today's western world. I'm a BIG fan. Minna

I entirely agree with you. I don't understand people who put so little value on their bodies, health, and minds.
