that I ravenously contemplate in order to make

my own conclusions on the topic at hand, life.

Interestingly, I am going to quote a

conversation myself and The Professor had on a

rainy day in London, which with his permission

after remembering the whole conversation, wrote

down, and it goes as so:

Me: So there is no heaven or God?

The Professor: You know I don't believe…but I

will say this Franz, the real question is not

whether there is a heaven it is simply, in heaven,

granted that there is one, will there be suffering?

Me: It is said you'll have no tears.

head of hair] How can you feel happy without the

need for pain? This heaven seems a cop-out, like

the whole penitent story, why didn't this God just

perfect the creation if he could?

Why all this talk of freedom and control? In

reality how much of life can we really control?

This conversation is one of many I have had with
