SD, Actually, I do feel as if I'm a better person. Do I miss the sex that I could have been having if I'd married someone else? I used to, I guess, but now, it's kind of like missing the wonderful Apple Strudel my imaginary wife Helga might have made for me. So I don't have any strudel. I'm probably healthier because of it...certainly not as fat as I would be.
We are presented with our life. No one gets out of here alive. Might as well make the best of it you can while you're here. Best way to handle that is by [insert text of serenity prayer here], and by constantly trying to improve yourself by learning what you can, understanding what you can, laughing when you can, loving as many people as you can, and digging the beauty around you.
