Da hast du recht mein Freund. Until one has no life anymore and decides 
that paranibbana may be the best thing left to do. The law of Eternal 
nagging. First one needs to get rid of some of one's friends, then one

shouldn't watch telly, then one should spend less time behind one's 
computer etc etc until one is a model husband.
