Here is an interesting take on a software called Love and how a conversation might have went between a person desirous of installing such a software and a “Tech Support” specialist! Forwarded as an email by my friend, Sheela K..

=====================

Tech Support: Yes, … how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install Love.
Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running ?

Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem,
Grudge and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current
operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will
no longer disrupt other programs.
Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its
own called High Self-Esteem.
However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment.
Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Can you turn those off ?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness.
Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have
been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program.
You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, ” Error – Program not run
on external components.” What should I do?

Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal
Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms,
it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files:
Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the “My Heart” directory.
The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching
faulty programming.
Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and
empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never
comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on
my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over
My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets
it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running.
One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it
and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it
with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.
