Complicated

Who are you? Self awareness is very tricky. You’re very complicated, we all are, people are the most complicated things we encounter in our everyday lives. Now imagine two complicated people together. We manage this complexity by limiting each other, with social contracts, to limit usurious behaviours. If we abide by the contracts things are simplified. Part of that is being polite - you don’t want a complex, bank teller, dentist or policeman - our society runs on simple transactions - perhaps 10 for each of us daily. The wild card is emotion - that’s why sex is so tricky. Do you want to depend on an emotional doctor or be stopped by a really emotional policeman? I think not.

When it involves sex, few - especially teenagers - ever think about the consequences . . . . .
