A Different Perspective

So I was watching Bones earlier (one of my favorite shows) and it got me thinking. This particular episode I was watching was called "Player Under Pressure". The storyline involves a murdered star college basketball player.(SPOILER ALERT!) The killer ends up being a past-champion basketball player-now head of campus security. He didn't plan to kill the boy though. This guy wasn't a bad guy. It was a crime of passion. You see he walked in on his daughter, his baby doing something rather personal with this basketball player. And it broke him, he killed the boy. At the end, Booth is trying to talk him down from shooting himself. Then he said something that just struck me. He said "I came in and saw my little girl...doing what she was doing...I was just like him ya know?... I was just like him. You wouldn't understand. It changes your life when you see your little girl...its a different perspective." I think you boys (and even some girls) would benefit from seeing things from that perspective. Boys when you are with a girl and things start going farther, picture being that girl's father and watching someone else doing this with your little girl. Your daughter. Girls, imagine what you are doing this with a this boy ,imagine your father is watching. Imagine how heart-broken he is when he sees you giving up innocence for pleasure or for "love". This isn't to judge you but I just thought if we viewed things from a different perspective, we might rethink our choices.

I also adore "Bones" and you're right, this episode was heart-breaking. If only young men and women weren't so influenced by the world's cavalier attitude towards sex (in all its forms) and really considered the ramifications of giving themselves away.
