Well.. I guess it's all your point of view. I think living your whole life miserably for that one (possible) moment of joy is worth it. It's rather heroic. (Then again, I liked Jude the Obscure for that reason... and my high school English teacher who hated it thought I was crazy.) Life is gonna be some suffering (there's no way out of it)..... learn to enjoy it. Then again... I'm a self-masochist... so don't listen to me, Gail -- "Make me think that at the end of the day, some great reward will be coming my way." -- dM
