Installing Love…an Interesting Conversation


Customer               : Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready to install now.
                                What do I do first?

Technical Support : 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?

Technical Support : What programs are running ma’am?

Customer               : Let’s see…I have PAST-HURT.exe, LOW-ESTEEM.exe,
                                GRUDGE.exe and RESENTMENT.com running now.

Technical Support : 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.
                                These 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?

Technical Support : My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS
                                .exe. Do this as many times as necessary until it’s erased the
                                programs you don’t want.

Customer               : Okay, now LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is
                                that normal?

Technical Support : 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?

Technical Support : Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You
                                need to begin connecting to other HEARTS in order to get the
                                upgrades.

Customer               : Oops. I have an error message already. What should I do?

Technical Support : What does the message say?

Customer               : It says “ERROR 412-PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL
                                COMPONENTS.” What does that mean?

Technical Support : 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?

Technical Support : Can you pull down the directory called “SELF-ACCEPTANCE”?

Customer               : Yes, I have it.

Technical Support : Excellent. You’re getting good at this. Now, click on the ff. files
                                and then copy them to the “MYHEART” directory:
                                FORGIVE-SELF.doc, REALIZE-WORTH.txt and
                                ACKNOWLEDGE-LIMITATIONS.doc. The system will over
                                -write 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, SMILES
                                .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?

Technical Support : 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. Ah, one
                                more thing.

Customer               : Yes?

Technical Support : 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?

Technical Support : You can call me the Divine Cardiologist, also known as The
                                Great Physician, but most call 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. But another way, keep in touch…
