Hi Marco:

But in the end, Pirsig was glad to get rid of Lila:

"Across the cabin, on the pilot berth, Phaedrus saw that her suitcase
was gone. There was a nice empty hole there. That was good. That
meant he could get the trays of slips back out and have room to get to
work on them again. That was good too. He remembered that
PROGRAM slip he wrote to wait until Lila gets off the boat. He could
cross that one off now." (Lila, Chap. 32).

By the way, humanitarians dedicated to eliminate suffering should note
the following passage:

"If you eliminate suffering from this world you eliminate life. There's no
evolution. Those species that don't suffer don't survive. Suffering is the
negative face of Quality that drives the whole process." (Lila, Chap. 29)
