I'd sure like to know why my HS - if it exists (not convinced of that yet, though I'm open to the possibility) - would choose to remain so hidden, so elusive. Wouldn't it be better if I could just call him up?
Me: Hello, Higher Self?
HS: Speakin.
Me: Uh... hi. I have a question.
HS: Make it snappy. Family Guy is on.
Me: Uh, well, OK. What's the reason for my existence here?
HS: Since when did you need a reason?
Me: I'd like to have some sort of idea what this is all leading to.
HS: Just a sec... HAHAHAHA...! Peter just got coldcocked by a chicken!
Me: What?
HS: Oh. Family Guy. Nevermind. What was the question again?
Me: What's the reason for my existence?
HS: Look, it's perfectly simple. Just live the best life you can in the short time you've got.
Me: Short time?
HS: *pause* Yes. Short time.
Me: How much time?
HS: I can't tell you.
Me: You can't tell me because you don't know or you can't tell me because you don't know?
HS: Sorry, gotta go. Someone's on the other line... *click*
Me: *sigh*  |
