   I've never known anyone who works as hard as you do   
   at trying to not believe something -- and I always   
   wonder why it's SO important to you to try to prove   
   to yourself something you say you don't believe?   
   If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. Why   
   do you feel the need to exert yourself this way   
   in order to not believe it?
