Addicted To The Drama
By Karen Fish, Fri Dec 9th
There are presently 6 billion people living on Planet Earth.World Peace is the ideal that all 6 billion of them will learnto live in Peace and Harmony together, united in Holy Matrimony,until death by natural causes do them part. Lets start offsmall. Lets see if we can get two of them to live together inPeace. Samuel Twain is a 54 year old Harvard Graduate, formerLaw Professor, District Attorney, Defense Counsel, turnedextremely successful Mutual Fund Owner. Obviously we are nottalking chopped liver here. We are talking Midas, in hisprofessional life, and Murphy, in his personal life- the onlylaw he has known is Murphy's Law- or so he thinks- way too much.Sam is currently married to Jane, a stunningly attractive woman,popular, brilliant, composed, a ballet, tennis, golf, communityinvolvement enthusiast, on the outside, the perfect woman. Samand Jane have raised two magnificent children, Dawn, a 26 yearold physician, married to Alan, a 28 year old physician, andGail, a 21 year old doll about to be married to a youngwonderful lawyer named Richard. They are all in perfect health,living in Boca Raton Florida, on the outside, the family enviedby the entire world - a modern day Pleasantville family.Unfortunately, the entire family is caught in the throes ofgrief and misery, as if the Titanic had just hit the Iceberg inthe Icy Atlantic Ocean late at night, and the Captain justrealized that they forgot to load the lifeboats. How could thisbe? Well, have you ever heard of a little 3 letter word calledsex? Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychiatry, who hadintimate relations with his mother on a regular basis, said thatevery 3 seconds men have a sexual thought. It must have been allthat time spent sitting in his chair with his stopwatch that ledto his fascination with Fransz Antoine Mesmer, the father offaith healing, and hypnosis, if you don't count the Jewish bornRabbi and Creator of the Universe, the Messiah to 2 billionChristians and 1 billion Muslims, Jesus aka Joshua aka Yeshuaaka The Holy Spirit aka God the Father Almighty, you know whoI'm talking about. Sam and Jane have spent hours if not dayswith their relationship counselor Dr. Ellen Friedrich, who isstill working on the case, without any success. She is wonderinghow she passed 11 years
of medical school but can't seem to getthe perfect couple of the Universe to function peacefullytogether. Sam has spent so much time bouncing from Baby Thomas'crib room, to hotel suites, to his palatial country estate inthe Hamptons alone, that when the border guard asked hisaddress, he began to drool uncontrollably and had to be fittedwith a cloth between his teeth and a straight jacket to preventhim from chewing his jaw off. So what is at the root of Sam andJane Twain's misery? Well, 8 years ago, a lovely woman, Dawn,divorced from 2 alcoholics, came to work as a secretary in theoffice of Sam Twain. To say that the chemistry between Sam andDawn was and continues to be hot, is like saying that AdolfHitler wasn't really that enamored with Jewish people. Sam andDawn not only set the bed on fire at an age when Sam should begoing blind from Viagra, but they also have a blazing red hotfriendship. At the same time, Sam is still madly in love withJane, even though 30 years of practice seems to have cooled offthe sheets somewhat. One would think that of these 3 intelligentand mature adults, at least one of them after eight years ofthis relationship turmoil would have been able to say good byeto one of the others, but unfortunately we are dealing here withhuman beings, and life is not that simple. Sam cannot bringhimself to leave Jane because he loves her so. Sam cannot bringhimself to leave Dawn because he likes her so and Dr. Freud mayhave been wrong - it may have been every 2 seconds. Dawn cannotbreak up with Sam because he is the answer to all of herfinancial emotional sexual and life problems, and Jane cannotbring herself to throw Sam out of the house because she so lovesSam, and knows that even half a husband is better than cyberdating - an endless series of coffee dates with every mishegenain the world and their own shtick galore. Perhaps this is theanswer to World Peace - it's never going to happen. Maybe theBlack Eyed Peas were right - we're all too addicted to thedrama. http://www.thetempleoflove.com (The Peace Site) About the author:Karen Fish is a writer currently living in Los AngelesCalifornia.
