You're denying the identity of your eternal I and your current avatar. You're treating the one as non-you, as postponed you, as different from you. You could, of course, be correct in your denial.

If you're correct then you have no choice, there is no eternal I, you can never achieve it, sit back and watch the show or walk out, it's not as though you'll have a tomorrow in which to remember it.

If there is an association between an eternal I and the unalienated poster then you're left with a puzzle. What's the function of the split? You've only got so long in which to work it out, if working it out is of any potential benefit to you, or to do whatever alternate thing might improve the eternal I's condition if anything can.

Go on Peg, that's simple, anyone can get you smiling... YouTube Jack/Daniel

That, thinking about it, is total sacrilege. The video clip.

Great song though.

I don't care about what I'll be AFTER. I've got to "live" first, that's the problem. I'm interested in death, but, shame, we have so few informations about it while we pass our time here...

Oh, I could talk with a priest. Oh, wait, I'm doing it now.

Anyway: that's why I talked about an earthly eternity. I'm all but looking for heaven.

Why this is heaven, nor are you out of it.

Let's face it, every other concept of heaven is pretty hellish.

The huge attraction of what you've got now is that, in some senses, it'll end.

Only deluded undeceived people can think about suicide seriously.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it would be a blessing for me, but:
- I'm too unworthy to do it
- The Holy Owl told me to wait.

You've been off consorting with unsavoury influences, that's your problem.
