So I can sigh eternally

I've heard it said that listening to Leonard Cohen can turn one suicidal. I wouldn't know about that. What I do know is that I once listened to Benjy Eisen tell a story about encountering Cohen before a concert. The story ended with the words “all the time in the world”.

I note now that some people are comforted by having all the time in the world, and some people are burdened by the same. For someone who seeks out pain and suffering to distract one's self from one's deeper problems, eternity can be a curse. Luckily, I don't know anyone like that.
