You’re taking on another person’s peculiarities and problems.
You’re inviting some strife into your life when arguments happen.
You’re risking disappointment and a looming heartache.
The one you love might do things that make you disturbingly jealous.
The one you love may want you to do tiresome activities you don’t want to do.
The one you love might eventually come up with annoying complaints about you that have no validity, that are grating on your very life.
The one you love might eventually stop loving you and leave your heart and your life shattered.
Is it any wonder some are driven to love with artificial intelligences
minus any heartaches, emotional tolls or strife?

Reports of haunted houses everywhere,
have the dead nothing better to do
than hang around gloomy old houses?
I don’t know about you, but when I’m
dead, I’ll not be living in a dusty old haunt.
I’ll not self exile myself to such a boring afterlife.
When expired there has to be better things to do,
like consuming an ambrosiac in some blissful paradise
with an incredibly fairy tale like soulmate or riding
unicorns through splendorous, lucent realms
or attending a Jimmy Buffet concert for free and
listening to him singing about 5 o’clock somewhere.
Screw hanging out in old boring houses, those are
just a few of the better things I would do.

Joseph says he sees his deceased wife alive in dreams.
Marilyn says she hears her dead husband talking to her nearly everyday.
A bereaved mother sees visions of her son who died in a war.
A dying woman says she sees her deceased husband waiting
to be with her in the afterlife.
Others say they often experience coincidences they know
are from the dead.
Many people report varying encounters with those passed on.
Could all those people be imaging things, or do the dead some
times not stay entirely dead?

At first their love was imbued with bliss.
Everyday felt wonderful, nearly ecstatic.
They knew their love was never ending.
After about six months they couldn’t
believe the initial euphoria had passed.
Their love dimmed. Arguments ensued.
They gradually began drifting apart,
realizing they had nothing in common.
In the end when she left him for another,
and the mirage of true love faded away
to him it all seemed so pointless, and
he never got fooled by love again.
