A VERY INTROSPECTIVE WRITE INDEED! ! ! ! ! !

'I left her at the banks of Kaveri Do you still carry her in mind heavily? ” is that so? provokes gentle smile on my face. thanks. md. young saint 'you wish you did'

a great mix of humor and wisdom... 10

great concept..youngmans wisdom for very young woman..clever write...

In my opinion, kindness should prevail. The older Saint was filled with wisdom and loss of libido, yes? Kindness won out. Yes, his mind could've run wild, but lets hope he was beyond mere human carnal desire. We can shut the steam engine down if we understand our primitive natures. We can act solely out of concern for a fellow earth-mate, regardless of gender. Circumstances must dictate. It is obscene that people must back off from each other because of gender. It is outrageous that a woman's body must be avoided at all costs. When do we grow up and respectfully and consciously act according to and in the the best interests of nature? Thanks for sharing! My best, Carol

I have heard this story before. It is the height of wisdom for all young men. GW62
