Just FYI.  Scientists and doctors have isolated chemicals which flow in 
the blood stream of people in love.  Studies show that these  chemical 
slowly dissipate over about ten years.  Relationships that last  this long 
are ussually  characterized by friendship love more than sexual  
attraction.  This research also lends credence to the so called seven year 
itch, although it suggests that it be renamed.   Sorry to all you out 
there who take a more philosophical  perspective to  these things.  As 
some small consolation let me suggest that like most things to do with the 
body and its chemicals, there is no way how these results are affected by 
other variables. Still and all, It is rather intersting is it not? (query: 
 What about  love potions made from these chemicals. ) 

Concering death: When you consider that there is no way to know what 
exists after death nad there is no way to find out, it seems rather 
pointless to me to speculate.  If you concern yourself with living then 
what goes on in the after  will work itslf out, and if it doesn't  you 
wouldn't be able to affect  it anyway.  Just to really stir up the bees, 
let me  also suggest that this same logic can be used to undermine the 
teachings  of virtually every religion in the world.  The purpose of
religion  is to give us guidelines to follow in life in order to ensure a 
good  afterlife.  Death is the underlying cause and religion is the 
effect.  The sheer diversity  of religions on this biosphere is proof 
enough that one single  faith doesn't holds all the cards.  Every one of 
them is a speculation and noone can prove them can their right.  Well, I 
hope noone takes offence to my rantings.  These are just my opinions and I 
welcome any comment.
