"Does the mind rule the body or Does the body rule the mind? I dunno." (Morrissey) This is a quote to ponder. In some cases its hard to decipher. Morrissey is a genius. If you haven't even heard his music, you absoteley need to! It will change your life.

As for me, my mind rule my body in most cases. But i am not so sure my mind can still rule my body when i meet my girl who is not my wife but we have been in love with each other for three or more months. Therefore, i just refuse and escape meeting her.

why would you deprive yourself of this. Why would you repress your bodily/desires or instincts. This is so bad for us in the long-run. If you love her feel free to do as your body wishes, to express yourself intimately. Marriage is simply an institution made by society, a very flawed one at that. Some lovers who aren't married carry on a lovelier and truer relationship than some married couples. Listen to your heart and body, sometimes your mind has been brainwashed by societie's purdish and ridiculous standards. That is not to say you should be promiscuous for no reason. But really feel free to think twice about the mind our mind works

The mind is the body and the body is the mind, i like to believe that neither has a precedent. Ponder this, what is the boundary between the body and the mind and consider that the boundary of a boundary is zero.

I accept human fallibility for what it is and try to learn more knowledge. One thing i can say for sure is that I don't know enough to make an accurate call between the two so just try to learn more always i guess.

Interesting quote. While I would like to believe sometimes that the mind is dominate over the body, I know that theory has many flaws. There are times where ones mind can help therm out of any given situation. There are times where it cannot, and really has no say in what goes down

its mind over matter, meaning the mind rule over the body and this is a general statement. however, scientifically, we have the nervous system who carries the request of the body for whatever reflexes it may deemed to act. the brain evaluate and validate the command/request and reflex actions take place, again another general statement...
