LOL...what can i do to convince you...recite a few knittel rhymes by Wilhelm Busch perhaps?

"Dies ist fatal, bemerkte Schlich...
diesmal aber auch fuer mich"
(this is fatal, remarked Schlich...but this time for me as well)

or the Hamlet monologue in the translation by Schlegel-Tieck:

"Sein...oder nicht sein,
das ist die Frage.
Ob's edler im Gemuet, die Pfeil' und Schleudern des
wuetenden Geschicks erdulden,
oder sich wappnend gegen eine See von Plagen,
durch Widerstand sie enden"

(To be or not to be, that is the question.
whether 'tis nobler in mind to suffer the slings and arrows of an outrageous fortune, or arming against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them)
