I got this via email from a friend of mine... Enjoy......
Customer Service (CS) Rep. : Yes, Ma'am, how
can I help you today?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've
decided to install LOVE. Can you guide me
through the process?
CS Rep. : Yes, I can help you. Are you ready to
proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready to install now. What
do I do first?
CS Rep. : The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART
ma'am?
Customer: Yes I have, but there are several other programs running right now. Is
it okay to install while they are running?
CS Rep. : What programs are running ma'am?
Customer: Let's see, I have PAST-HURT.EXE, LOW-ESTEEM.EXE,
GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running right now.
CS Rep. : No problem. LOVE will gradually erase PAST-HURT.EXE from your
current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no
longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite
LOW-ESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGH-ESTEEM.EXE.
However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and
RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly
installed. Can you turn those off ma'am?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how ?
CS Rep. : My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE.
Do this as many times as necessary until GRUDGE.EXE and
RESENTMENT.COM have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done. LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that
normal?
CS Rep. : Yes. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life
of your HEART. Do you see that message?
Customer: Yes I do. Is it completely installed?
CS Rep. : Yes, but remember that you have only the base
program. You need to begin connecting to other HEART's in
order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops. I have an error message already. What
should I do?
CS Rep. : What does the message say?
Customer: It says 'ERROR 412 - PROGRAM NOT RUN ON
INTERNAL COMPONENTS.' What does that mean?
CS Rep. : Don't worry ma'am, that's a common problem. It means that the LOVE
program is set up to run on external HEARTS but has not yet been run on your
HEART. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical
terms it means you have to 'LOVE' your own machine before it can 'LOVE'
others. Customer: So what should I do?
CS Rep. : Can you pull down the directory called 'SELF-ACCEPTANCE'?
Customer: Yes, I have it.
CS Rep. : Excellent. You're getting good at this.
Customer: Thank you.
CS Rep. : You're welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the
'MYHEART' directory: FORGIVE-SELF.DOC, REALIZE-WORTH.TXT, and
ACKNOWLEDGE-LIMITATIONS.DOC. The system will overwrite any conflicting
files and begin patching any faulty programming.
Also, you need to delete
VERBOSE-SELF-CRITIC.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle
bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with new files. SMILE.MPG is
playing on my monitor right now and it shows that PEACE.EXE, and
CONTENTMENT.COM are copying themselves all over my HEART. Is this
normal?
CS Rep. : Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually everything gets
downloaded at the proper time. So, LOVE is installed
and running. You should be
able to handle it from here. One more thing before I
go. Customer: Yes?
CS Rep. : LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to
everybody you meet. They will in turn share it with other people and they will
return some similarly cool modules back to you.
Customer: I will. Thanks for your help. By the way, what's your name?
CS Rep. : You can call me the Divine Cardiologist, also known as The Great
Physician, but most call me God. Most people feel all they need is an annual
check-up to stay heart-healthy, but the manufacturer
(Me) suggests a schedule
of daily maintenance for maximum efficiency. Put another way, keep in
touch.........

Quite entertaining piece. I have only one grudge.
You can not program/train a heart to love. Let’s put it this way, what comes from a programmed heart can not be Love. It can be Compassion, Sympathy, Generosity, Charity, Mercy, Understanding, Reconciliation and so on, but not Love. To love, first, you have to be able to like it 100% and unconditionally. You may ask, is it not possible to like less than 100% or, say, conditionally ? Of course, it is possible. But, then, what comes out from them is not Love. It can be many things, but not Love. When you train/program a heart (not the cardiologic one), it becomes a brain. Brain does not love. Only a heart can love. Heart has no program, no rule, no pretensions, and no reconciliation. Only brain can pretend, heart can not. Only brain can reconcile, heart can not. Only brain can say ‘I love you’ when it does not, heart can not do so.
Love is the state of being immune to manipulation. The minute you touch it in order to manipulate, it dies.
