<<<Hmm...after the discussions on this page, I'm not sure that Mr. Antolini is
a desirable life destination...Or Seymour either, although I'm probably alone
on that.>>>

True, neither Antolini nor Seymour would be the perfect "life destination",
but they are both older journeyers on the path Holden is taking.  I'd say that
its EXTREMELLY hard for a person on this path to ever find ultimate peace and
happiness, if not impossible.  Seymour realized this...he ate too many dern
bananas.  Both Seymour and Antolini gave valiant efforts (guessing here on
Antolini) at living while seeing more.  If Holden could do so, I'd be proud of
him.  Thats all I was saying...On the other side of the coin, Holden is also a
likely candidate for a mental institution if he doesn't get his act together.
He still has to learn all about the Fat Lady, which I think helped both
Seymour and Antolini throughout their lives.  In my opinion Seymour was doing
just fine...GREAT even before those analysts got to him.  DAMN ALL traditional
psychoanalysts trying to make geniuses normal!  <flails>
Later,

Eric
