I am curious as to yuor experience with non-existence, William.  Please,
feel free to fill me in on what it is like (besides that it sucks).

As for whast you are to do (he he he), I suggest you fall in love again,
hopelessly, as always, and hope it works out better.  Human beings make
this same mistake again and again, due mostly to that romantic illusion
called love (From Wall Street:  "...the ones that keeps most of the poor
laymen from jumping off buildings" or something like that).  But since it
seems our lot to do so, go ahead, make nature's day.  And always try to
remember, William, it could be soooooo much worse...

Getting back to Woody Allen (who I have no doubt will one day be revered as
the one true sage of our times), I remember this passage from a movie of his:
Monologue from Allen:
Something like...

Love is analogous to this joke I heard once.
This guy is talking to a friend about his brother, who is completely wacko
and thinks he's a chicken.
His friend asks why he doesn't take his brother to a psychiatrist or some-
one who could help him with his mental problems.
The man replies "We need the eggs."

Which is why we keep falling in love, we know it's crazy, but in a strange
way, we need the eggs.

End Allen.

I liked it, anyway.
