Again another one to ponder. :-| Man, what comes in your mind? You remind me of my friend ; He once said "Kill me and I am free." And here you say "rip me off and I'll come alive." Anyway, Sinking in the river of denial, you will be embraced by mighty ocean. I feel I have been at least. Unrequited love has given alittle bit of selflessness, lot of indifference and emancipation from attachments. I am as if in the blissful state of nirvana.
