I have received many a pleading email from exhausted readers who simply cannot assimilate all the wisdom of the Cyberphilosopher in one sitting.  That of course, is to be expected.  The deep pools of knowledge which reside here cannot be swallowed in a single gulp.  They must be sample sparingly, consciously, with an open mind.  They must be waded into slowly, savored,  soaked in.  

Unfortunately, the bulk of my readers have no interest in gaining wisdom through slow reading and reflecting.  Despite my constant admonishment that I've been messing with your collective head since 1997, and I don't plan on going anywhere, too many who might be willing students rush through in the unreasonable fear that Roadsend may cease to be when they need its wisdom most.   Others have simply become too conditioned by the current state of society, and need to know the ending of the book without having read it first.  These instant gratification types beg me to "bottom line" my message.  I would be interested to know if there is any correlation between a desire to know the bottom line and a tendency toward premature ejaculation.  That, however is a question to pursue at another time.  Right now, I give you my "bottom line."  For those of you who need an easy checklist of things to do in chasing your happiness, start here.  I give you the Cyberphilospher's Six Keys to a Happy Life:

1. Never piss off anyone who has access to you when you are asleep.

2. Never argue with a pregnant woman.

3. It's more important to be happy than to be right.

4. You can either be happy, or unhappy.  Choose happy.

5. Whatever it is, if you really want to eat it, eat it!

6. Live life with an open hand, an open mind, and an open heart.  

Pay close attention to number 4.  While It's never as easy as all that, it's not as hard as you think either.
