Charm,

We are so very much alike my friend. I posted this same link late last night to my Facebook wall (why aren't you on Facebook again???) However I hesitated posting it on these forums due to some of his thoughts in the article and how they may sound to a new patient about to start treatment. Hindsight tells me I should've so I'm glad I could count on you.

Hitchens was a fantastic writer and extremely intelligent, although given his views on religion many had issues with him. Personally I enjoyed his writing and the debates posted on YouTube, he definitely was a personality both you and I could appreciate even if we didn't subscribe to his beliefs.

I would say that he did find his "why" to live though in his wife and therefore related to my favorite Nietzche quote

Thanks for posting this here my friend, it is a good read from a prolific writer
