: Happiness?

: The Masochist died and went to hell and found himself before the Devil. Everywhere terrifying implements of torture hung from the walls surrounding the chained Masochist.

: Staring him right in the eye the Masochist taunted the Devil - "Beat me!"

: Staring him right back in the eye the Devil answered, "No!"

: ========

: Hmmm, Sambersil, I (2,500 years ago) came to that conclusion about human life. However now after much time and consideration it occured to me that when Male spiders let the Female spider eat them it was not Happiness that they were achieving. What is the overall purpose of all life on the big picture - not just people and not just survival.

: Perhaps those religions have something to offer after all...
