The brain is for thinking, but we don't think with other parts of our bodies

The human brain is for thinking, but we don't think with other parts of our bodies.

This is something that we all should keep in mind at the time of making decisions that can have unexpected consequences.I don't pass judgment. We are all human and at one point or another have made decisions not with our brains, but with what is between our legs. A moment of weakness and everything somebody has fought for can be jeopardized, ruined, lost.

You have a spouse, three children, more wealth than you can spend, a position of power, et cetera, and one day make a decision that along the line is going to be equivalente of throwing everything away. Like I said in the previous paragraph I don't pass judgment. Most of us have been there at one point or another of our lives and it is much too easy to criticize when we are not free from some kind of blame.

There will be many casualties along the way. If things go badly and the flame is quickly extinguished by following events, there will be plenty of regrets. Most or all of what I talk about I talk from personal experience because every family is a world.

Whether you are the person who did the deed or the one who is on the receiving end, there is going to be loads of pain. Certain joys acquired at the expense of people we should care for including the most vulnerable who are not of an age to be able to comprehend the enormity of the changes that are on the horizon won't come cheap.

Whether you are the kind of person whose face is in all major newspapers or whether you are somebody that is pretty anonymous, if not many people know about our weaknesses and failings, you know about our own weaknesses and failings and you have to endure living with our weaknesses and failings.

This is why when I learn about somebody's weaknesses and failings, I don't rise as a judge. I could say 'what a waste!'.
