That's all well and good, except for one thing: I (and all other humans besides yourself) haven't the foggiest idea what you are \actually/ feeling. All we can do is get a distorted impression from your words and actions. The mental world is (at least for the moment) a completely private one; it would seem, therefore, to be difficult to judge the quality/worth of ANY life on something that is not even observable, let alone measurable. --Alan Wexelblat ittvax!wex or decvax!ucbvax!ittvax!wex@BERKELY
