Why Computers Have Fans,
and Hot Lovers Wear Bobble Hats

A computer has a fan in its casing, which blows air over the electronic components inside.  The components are buzzing with electric currents, through the computers Central Processing Unit - its electronic brain.  And the electricity generates heat.  If the CPU gets too hot it becomes damaged. So to protect the computer’s “brain”, the fan provides a flow of cooling air.

Human brains work in a similar fashion.  Electrons whizzing around our brain cells (neurons) also generate heat.  This is why the human body can lose a great amount of heat from the head - about 1/3 of total heat loss - out of proportion to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body.  But if our body becomes too cool, we risk damage from hypothermia.  To protect ourselves in cold weather we reduce the heat loss from our heads by insulating them with something along the lines of a bobble hat.

Now, our brains solve problems.  By thinking hard we actually use up more energy and generate more heat.  When we are with someone we love, we have the ability to help our loved one by thinking and solving their problems for them.  We can take an outside view on our loved one’s life, and when we have worked out what their problem is about, we can give to them what we have found out by talking to them.  The good caring information we give to them helps to correct their perception.  This helps our loved one to grow, mentally and spiritually.  The information we pass on in this way is none other than love - our capacity to nurture the spiritual growth of another person.  People who give a lot of love are therefore doing a lot of thinking on another person’s behalf.  So a very loving person’s mind is going to generate more heat than most, and the most loving people are therefore the people who are going to need a woolly hat the most!

Sometimes we are lazy in our love.  Giving love, by thinking and solving, is an act of work.  It is an evolutionary trait to conserve our energy supplies - just in case we might need more energy in the future.  The ancient part of us is lazy and doesn’t want to give love.  Giving love conflicts with our evolutionary drive not to give love.  The human species is in its infancy, and we are still in the process
