I understand you feelings! What can I say? We've all grown up, and there is
no need for regretting the good old times. Maturity is the ability to
accept what has gone forever. All right, I will not make it philosophical,
but instead I would like to share with all of you the lyrics of a wonderful
song from John Lennon written in early 70's entitled "God". Being a grown-up
may end all the finest dreams you'd had when you were young, may make
you become more grumbling and more cynical, but it's all right! Go for the
new dreams!

Warning: this lyrics may be sensitive for those of you who are deeply
religious. Please PageDown!

		GOD (John Lennon)

	God is a concept by which we measure our pain
	I'll say it again
	God is a concept by which we measure our pain
	I don't believe in magic
	I don't believe in I-Ching
	I don't believe in Bible
	I don't believe in tarot
	I don't believe in Hitler
	I don't believe in Jesus
	I don't believe in Kennedy
	I don't believe in Buddha
	I don't believe in mantra
	I don't believe in gita
	I don't believe in yoga
	I don't believe in kings
	I don't believe in Elvis
	I don't believe in Zimmerman
	I don't believe in Beatles
	I just believe in me
	Yoko and me -- and that's reality
	The dream is over -- what can I say?
	The dream is over -- yesterday
	I was the dream-weaver but now I'm reborn
	I was the walrus but now I'm John
	And so dear friends you'll just have to carry on
	The dream is over.

Amen!
