There are times when one is just plain stupid. For example, when you tell somebody when's the baby due and she says: 'What baby?'. Or when you are playing strip-poker and get too cold that you can only focus on which of the heaters might be turned off... and actually forget other things being 'turned on'.
But other than all these romantic-comedy-sex-and-the-city situations, there are days when it is the feelings talking and seems there is nothing to do about it. Here is where 'the Philosopher' comes into picture. By reading this thing about the pursue of the good, found out a notion - souls, not people, can be 'young'. A 'young soul' is dominated by passion (would love to say 'the empire of the passion' but somebody else took the name and made a semi-porn arty movie out of it), and is lead by the immediate satisfaction. So I guess there is a difference between the people that goes to the best of the steak at once and the weirdos like my cousin Manolo that always saved the yummiest for last.
I've been thinking about 'young attitudes' for a couple of days. Aristotle also said that there's a difference between obeying the reason and using it to think. 'I think therefore I am'? It is not that simple. Seems that it not only depends on the size of your goal, but in their perfect and definitive nature. Quite a challenge. My soul, by the way must be around 7 - I could still have chocolate ice-cream instead of dinner and find pleasure in braking Jell-O with a spoon.
Blogito, ergo sum.
