So I'm listening to a Rich Nathan Sermon and he mentions that safe sex isn't necessarily safe. He said that covering yourself in latex isn't a failsafe method of preventing the transmission of disease. What occurred to me is that there isn't yet a latex that can cover the heart and mind. The dangers of spiritual and emotional damage in extra-marital affairs are much greater than the fears of disease or unwanted pregnancy.

OK, segue into something completely different. I read other people's blogs, and they relate what's going on in there lives or observations about the weather or hopes and dreams for the future. I, on the other hand, (Why do I *always* wind up on the other hand?), delve into matters philosophic and spiritual, with a variable degree of insight. Is this alright? Do I bear to much of myself to the public?

Totally fine! We all bare ourselves in differing ways. My way is obviously to rant away about what I'm miserable about in my life. ;) It's just how each of our brain works - yours is a much more cerebral brain and mine is much more... whiney, while someone else's is more... daily life thoughts. Anyway, I love your philosphical posts. They make me think, especially about topics I may not know too much about! Keep it up.

Yes. This is alright. It is who you are; and denying who you are is self deception. Denying it in such a public forum is deception of others.

"Do I bear to much of myself to the public?"

Did you force yourself to share something about yourself that you were not ready to share? Or is the real concern that maybe you shared more than the public wants to hear? If the latter is the case, well then yes -- and no. There will always be a part of the public that does not want to hear what you (or anyone else) wants to say. Those of us, members of the public, that do enjoy reading what you have to say -- appreciate your sincerity.
