Wow, what a discussion... Porn, Sex and Religion. Well, as I've journeyed through this thang called life, I've learned that there are a few topics that a person should not touch. I mean, unless a person is prepared for a mountain of "push-back" and controversy, there are some subjects that will surely find them in a heap of trouble. Having said that, and although I've never liked discussing politics, religion or another man's wife, I'm gonna jump in this discussion. See, I was married for 35 years and I learned a few things along the way. Well, first, sex is a very powerful "tool". It can be used to attract another person and control another person. However, it will not be, nor should be the glue that binds a couple together. Because truth be told, it will have periods of "depression". How the couple kick-starts those down periods or regenerates those feelings of the first years of their union is and should be a private affair. If it takes a porn flick or sexual involvement out of their normal habit of "spread it, get it and go" then that's their mission and who has the right to defines how another couple should reach their bliss?
So I am here to say, sometimes, although the couples love may be a strong as the first 6 months, sex and sex organs, and the impulses that control them are very complicated, and they have little to do with love. So, I thought about this for some time and came up with what I believe is a good message. Actually, what I am about to present came by way of someone else who spent a little time on the subject. Here it goes:
If you always do what you've always done
You'll always get the same old stuff
Life can treat you good, then turn as cold as ice
And believe me when I tell you
This thing called love, for sure is like most things in life
Not all bad, not all good
(It's just something that I believe)
Not all cold, not all hot
(Yeah, I like that, not all hot)
Not all bitter, not all sweet
(Sounds all right to me)
So don't miss all the good, waiting for the best
There's still happiness, right in the middle
Perfect love sounds real nice
But that never seemed to happen
With any relationship of mine
It was always up and down, in then out
And after the last goodbye
I still didn't know what it was all about
You get disappointed if it ain't bliss all the time
And you get so annoyed
It can't feel the same every night, love it
Not all bad, not all good
(I'm tryin' to tell you that it's)
Not all high, not all low
(Not all high and not all low)
Not all heaven, not all hell
And as far as I, as far as I can tell
It's not some prize you win
You don't have a thing to prove
Just enjoy the groove right in the middle
'Cause I've learned when it comes to love
It's the exact same reality
That's why they say, ...Que sera, sera...
Which means, whatever's gonna be is gonna be
Whatever's gonna be is gonna be
Whatever's gonna be is gonna be
Not all bad, not all good
(I need somebody to understand)
Not all sunshine, not all rain
(You know that too much of a good thing is really no good)
Not all laughter, not all tears
(I'm only trying to tell you)
To let your good times roll, keep your self control
And there's a lotta soul, right in the middle.
