[Dr. Eckleburg]

Why can't I be happy for you? Because I share Paul's sadness that you remain apart from Christ.

It is a freedom well-worth possessing.

As Jesus read from Isaiah...

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." -- Luke 4:18-19

Oh please. Don't be sad. As Paul said, "Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice".

As Jesus read from Isaiah...

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." -- Luke 4:18-19

Again, be happy. After all, I'm happy for you. :-)
