Aperture: in depth

In a previous post, we talked about the function of the lens aperture; control over the volume of light that strikes the sensor.  A wider aperture will result in a brighter image compared to a narrower aperture.  Well, if a wider aperture results in a brighter image why don't we always use this, right?  There's a very good reason for this and it's called depth of field.
