40938 20 Woody Allen 1275 2b701979-8020-46c6-901c-aec029139946 One day about a month ago$$$ I really hit bottom. You know$$$ I just felt that in a Godless universe$$$ I didn't want to go on living. Now I happen to own this rifle$$$ which I loaded$$$ believe it or not$$$ and pressed it to my forehead. And I remember thinking$$$ at the time$$$ I'm gonna kill myself. Then I thought$$$ what if I'm wrong? What if there is a God? I mean$$$ after all$$$ nobody really knows that. But then I thought$$$ no$$$ you know$$$ maybe is not good enough. I want certainty or nothing. And I remember very clearly$$$ the clock was ticking$$$ and I was sitting there frozen with the gun to my head$$$ debating whether to shoot. <br>[The gun fires accidentally$$$ shattering a mirror]<br> All of a sudden$$$ the gun went off. I had been so tense my finger had squeezed the trigger inadvertently. But I was perspiring so much the gun had slid off my forehead and missed me. And suddenly neighbors were$$$ were pounding on the door$$$ and$$$ and I don't know$$$ the whole scene was just pandemonium. And$$$ uh$$$ you know$$$ I-I-I ran to the door$$$ I-I didn't know what to say. You know$$$ I was-I was embarrassed and confused and my-my-my mind was r-r-racing a mile a minute. And I-I just knew one thing. I-I-I had to get out of that house$$$ I had to just get out in the fresh air and-and clear my head. And I remember very clearly$$$ I walked the streets. I walked and I walked. I-I didn't know what was going through my mind. It all seemed so violent and un-unreal to me. And I wandered for a long time on the Upper West Side$$$ you know$$$ and-and it must have been hours. You know$$$ my-my feet hurt$$$ my head was-was pounding$$$ and-and I had to sit down. I went into a movie house. I-I didn't know what was playing or anything. I just$$$ I just needed a moment to gather my thoughts and$$$ and be logical and put the world back into rational perspective. And I went upstairs to the balcony$$$ and I sat down$$$ and$$$ you know$$$ the movie was a-a-a film that I'd seen many times in my life since I was a kid$$$ and-and I always$$$ uh$$$ loved it. And$$$ you know$$$ I'm-I'm watching these people up on the screen and I started getting hooked on the film$$$ you know. And I started to feel$$$ how can you even think of killing yourself. I mean isn't it so stupid? I mean$$$ l-look at all the people up there on the screen. You know$$$ they're real funny$$$ and-and what if the worst is true. What if there's no God$$$ and you only go around once and that's it. Well$$$ you know$$$ don't you want to be part of the experience? You know$$$ what the hell$$$ it's-it's not all a drag. And I'm thinkin' to myself$$$ geez$$$ I should stop ruining my life - searching for answers I'm never gonna get$$$ and just enjoy it while it lasts. And$$$ you know$$$ after$$$ who knows? I mean$$$ you know$$$ maybe there is something. Nobody really knows. I know$$$ I know maybe is a very slim reed to hang your whole life on$$$ but that's the best we have. And then$$$ I started to sit back$$$ and I actually began to enjoy myself. 1160

But it wasn't just intellectual experiences. They were peddling emotional ones$$$ too. For fifty bucks$$$ I learned$$$ you could relate without getting close.
