Which sort of retains the lottery concept. You being a diamond in the rough is no different in the end–you have to reach out and try to get found. Which sort of retains the lottery concept.

It's more about whether or not someone will find <em>me</em>. <em>I</em> am the diamond in the rough. Now I just need a crack marketing team to advertise and sell me to the right person. BTW, J.D. Salinger had children. The matter (at least for me) is not finding someone who I can love forever. It’s more about whether or not someone will find me. I am the diamond in the rough.

I lived in a split-level house as a child and I romanticize it. I am not into being a recluse, but I treasure my alone time. Nice blog you’ve got here.

I wonder if he harbored the same sentiments, in that he was disgusted by the world and wanted no part in it. "The world no longer has any love or romance. " I hold the belief that there's a diamond in every rough. From a song called "Love Ain't": "Some fear it, some spend their entire lives trying to fight it/" Maybe you truly think there is no one left on this earth who would ever match with you. If that's the case, then going into recluse might be a good move. I personally don't think it's likely (my limited understanding of statistics brings me only this far) to find anyone that I truly love "forever," but I'm not going to stop trying. Perhaps you laugh at us like I laugh at people who play the lottery. Does anyone know why Salinger went into recluse?

What human nature is, what our part in it all is? What is darkness, what is light? What is good and what is evil? You'll be busy for awhile with those.
