The Essence of We

Ok, I'm sure all of us at one point have heard the phrase, "When you have sex with someone, you take a piece of that person with you and they take a piece of you with them."

Essence of self is lost.

So the more one has sex with different people, the more one loses themselves, giving their essence away.

Apparently then, in today's world, the reason SEX is so important, so necessary, so rushed into with a blaze of breathless excitement is because we have given so much of ourselves away already, there just happens to be nothing left to offer. To share. To discover. To talk about. In truth, what else is there besides sex? Honestly. Because without the protection and guidance of Christ, traveling bleary-eyed down the pathway of life we manage to back ourselves into a corner, empty-handed, having by this time, slowly poured out the "essence" vial that contained who we were and what we consisted of; Through, quite simply, the multiple acts of sex itself. . .
