NOTE:  This condition is fatal to Ph.D. candidates, and considered
dehabilitating to most R&D personnel.  Those exhibiting symptoms should
start writing research proposals *immediately*.

Symptoms of Inner Peace
- -----------------------

Watch for these signs of peace.  Many hearts have already been 
exposed; it could reach epidemic proportions.

o An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
o Loss of interest in judging others.
o Loss of interest in judging self.
o Loss of interest in interpreting actions of others.
o Loss of interest in conflict.
o Loss of ability to worry (very serious symptom).
o Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
o Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
o Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes from the heart.
o Tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
o Tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from 
  fear based on past experiences.
o Susceptibility to love extended by others as well as the
  uncontrollable urge to extend love.

If you have all or most of the above symptoms, be advised that
your condition of peace may be incurable.  If you are exposed 
to anyone exhibiting these symptoms, remain exposed at your
own risk.  These conditions of peace are likely infectious.
