   p.s. Here's an analogy--if a man wanted to find someone to marry who would   
   sincerely love him, and he made a public media challenge of it offering a   
   million dollars, maintaining an arrogant and cynical attitude, what kind of   
   claimants do you think he'd draw? If that millionaire didn't find a sincere   
   partner by this method, and he then proclaimed that this proves there is no   
   such thing, did he prove it? The person who could have loved him might have   
   been right there all the time, and he would never have known it.
