Fools and Kings

Many, especially the Jewish community, make claims that King David was one of the most brilliant men ever to live. Those people tend to also make claim that King Solomon, David's son, was the smartest man to ever live. I concur.

However, I also follow the school of thought that philosophers are not the only people to be gifted with flashes of insight. Many common, ordinary people can stumble upon an idea that is worthy of someone like King Solomon. I have recently had one of these revelations, and now I will enlighten you to it.

For many years, I have been on the search for a companion. In the beginning, any companion would have done, for I was lonely and in need of a friend. After I had been educated about the world, as I still am being educated, I had come to the conclusion that I would like to have a female companion. Women are usually more sensitive to problems, and are good problem-solvers. Besides that, I find that women smell nicer and are more attractive to look at than men.

In short, I have found a temporary solution to this problem. However, the solution has run out, and I continue on in my search.

In a long explination, I was paired with a girl for a Senior marriage project. We shared mutual romantic feelings, but due to factors beyond my control (i.e. her maturity, parents, geographic displacement, etc) nothing became of the relationship but a close friendship. While I still hold a small bit of affection for the girl, she is a ditz (fairly often, not all the time)....and that is unsuitable in a mate.

My feelings have also been averted toward three others in the course of the last year. Two of whom attend my school (one at a partner campus, one at the main campus). The first would not work for two reasons: a) she already has a boyfriend, and b) she lives far away. The second girl would not work because she is also in a rather well-standing relationship with an older guy. And both girls are happy, and I will not deter them from their pleasures.

The third, and probably most likely candiate, I have known for the longest amount of time in comparison to the previously mentioned three. I met her somewhere between one year to one and a half years ago. To me, she is absolutely gorgeous. There are few that I would even want to compare to her. She and I share a deep friendship, and we are rather compatible. But I find that only thinking about her and having quick, shallow conversations on networking sites like Facebook is no longer enough to quinch this thirst for female companionship. It is merely a temporary diversion.

I was recently contacted by one of her friends. While I had absolutely no reason whatsoever to trust this complete stranger, I made obvious hints about the true nature of her questions of whether or not I liked the girl. Eventually, the friend wised up, and understood. And of course, being the "good friend" (and gossipist) that she was, she became very excited and undoubtedly told every possible detail of the story to the third girl. I was to call the girl....
Things have happened, all because I had a flash of realisation.
