Mind, Body, Soul
A Lesson From the Orient?
By Mona Lease

Greetings, Gals!! The following us pretty intense. It is, however, the truth. Read on if you like.

The furnishings are opulent...plush carpeting...fine cigars...well-aged brandy...the finest foods. Trim, fit, beautiful girls, scantily dressed with heels and hose of black, circulate the room ready to serve your every need. Soft, relaxing music plays  in the background. Everything is orchestrated to please ad relax a man...from his emotional senses to his physical desires. It's the Playboy Club...or maybe mansion.

For whatever reason...a young girl is in this club that is geared to men...hence the Play boy in the name. Somehow...she sees Bill Cosby and at some point...she actually talks to him.

Through the conversation...amid the above description of opulence...she agrees to go to a private room with Mr. Cosby...to discuss how he can help her become a star on Broadway. There were no reports of her being dragged from the room kicking and screaming by Bill Cosby.

She accepts an open drink from Mr. Cosby...becomes woozy...and some 35+ years later...she takes Mr. Cosby to court for sexual assault.

RULE #1: In these situations...never accept an open drink from anyone you do not know personally.  I actually believe Mr. Cosby is guilty. He admitted to possessing the prescription drugs used to sedate these women when he was on trial in California. He stated he got them from his physician.

A woman in Pennsylvania took Bill Cosby to court and won. I watched as Mr. Cosby was led out of the court room...in handcuffs...after his sentencing. The Pennsylvania woman said she has had trouble trusting people since the assault...in a motel room with Mr. Cosby...where the biggest piece of furniture is the bed. My question is: Does this woman really have trouble trusting people or...does she know that she made a dumb decision and now she really does not trust her own judgement??

Mr. Cosby..would you let me have your autograph? Hey, Bill...my daughter is so funny. Would you help us get her discovered? Mr. Cosby...can I have my picture taken with you? Mr. Cosby...would you sign my chest? Hey, Bill...would you help a black brother get a break into the "big time?"  You know Mr. Cosby has heard it all.

Mr. Cosby is a talented man who rose quickly to the top through hard work and dedication...and stayed at the top for some 45+ years.  Make no mistake here about this....he was the first black man to undertake such a role on "I Spy."  He was black...and he would have been given no breaks. How many wedding anniversaries do you suppose he missed? How many first words or first steps or graduations or birthdays of his children did he miss because he was taping "Fat Albert" or "The Cosby Show" or "Kids Say the Darndest Things" None of this excuses Bill Cosby's behavior. It does, however, give you an idea of his (and any other musician's/actors, etc) mind/emotional set. I do bet the "ranch" that not a one of these women, who accused Mr. Cosby of sexual assault, thought about any of this. They were only interested in what he could do for them....hence all the "tips" in the private rooms. Which brings me to the actual point of this column...it being  woman's column and all.

No offense against Mr. Cosby but...why would a woman put herself in such a dangerous position? Any one of these women could have had an underlying medical condition of which they were not aware...and the drug that was administered could have killed them. I lost a classmate in 1971 due to this very thing. She was 13.

 Another question I have here is: Do you think that Bill Cosby had any real respect for any of these women who so willingly went with him for his "sage wisdom?"  Be honest here.

In Japan...if a boss gives his secretary a pat on the butt...it's a compliment. Women take great pride in keeping themselves fit and good looking. They strive to keep their actions and their vocal tone pleasing and non-disruptive to the home or in public.

The Orient's society deals with any "sexual" problem at the lowest local level.

So gals, if a guy whistles at you...it's not always a bad thing. Maybe you're the best looking gal he's seen in a while. It's all in how we respond. If a guy gives you a swat on the butt...don't get too upset. Maybe he likes what he sees. It's all in how we respond. Feeling good, gals, because a guy responded to your efforts to keep healthy and trim...is a good thing. Smile and say thanks. There's no need for a drawn out discussion.

My final question is: What do you suppose China, Russia, and the rest of the world...think of the USA...now that we have women sexually assaulted from coast to coast...by movie stars and politicians? This stuff makes headlines around the world.

"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can make all the difference." - sun.gazing.com

The best is yet to be!!     MONA
