Ring ring! Tech support: Hello can I help you? Customer: Well, after much consideration, I have decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process? Tech Support: Yes, ma'am I can help you, are you ready to proceed? Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first? Tech Support: The first thing is to open your heart, have you located your heart ma'am? Customer: Yes but there are several other programs running right now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running? Tech Support: What programs are running ma'am? Customer: Let's see, I have Past-Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now. Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past-Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of it's own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge And Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ma'am? Customer: I don't know how to turn those off, can you tell me? Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke forgiveness. Do this as many time as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have completely erased. Customer: Okay-done. Love has started installing itself. Is that normal? Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you only have the base problem. You need to connect to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades. Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error-program not run on external components." What should I do? Tech Support: Don't worry ma'am, it means the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts but has not yet been run on you Heart. In non-technical terms it means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others. Customer: So what should I do? Tech Support: Can you pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self, Realize Your Worth and Acknowledge Your Limitations. Customer: Okay. Done. Tech Support: Now copy them to "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self Criticism from all the directories and empty your recycle bin to make sure it is gone and never comes back. Customer: Got it! Hey! My Heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal? Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually everybody gets it at the proper time. So love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang-up, Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you. Customer: I promise to do just that. By the way, what's your name? Tech Support: Just call me the Divine Cardiologist, also know as the Great Physician, or just "I AM." Most people feel all they need is an annual check-up to stay heart-healthy; but the manufacturer (ME) suggests a daily maintenance schedule for maximum Love efficiency
