Quoted By:
An excited electron goes into the ground state and one of the ground state electrons asks "What's the problem" The excited electron says "What's the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Ilynivich, and all day long I work and, honestly, I don't know what I'm doing anymore and I don't think Gregory Ilynivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don't know. I wake up in a malaise and I walk here and there." The ground state electron says "Oh yeah?" The excited state electron goes "Yes. At night, sometimes I wake up and I turn to some old lady, in my bed, on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don't know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexandria, she fell in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. My other child, my son Gregaro, I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes I see the same cowardice that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only the cowardice was stronger, then perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lay there on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all. Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I'm an electron, just barely hanging onto my web with an everlasting fire beneath me. I'm not feeling good." So the ground state electron says "you are troubled, but you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on Earth did you come in here?" And the excited electron says "Because the light was on."
