[MF] MOQ and theism

Kevin:
  Thanks for sharing your concepts regarding a life of  quality.  I respect 
your 30 year marriage.  I agree the narrator  showed compassion at the end of 
Lila, but I wonder what you meant by the phrase  "he chose to share his life 
with Lila."   Is there a spot I missed  where the narrator decided he was 
potentially going to share his life with  Lila?  It seemed when Rigel came and took 
her away, the narrator was  saved from having to face this dilemma of what to 
do with Lila. 
    In my life, in a similar situation, no similar  Rigel came to save me 
from such a fate, so it's a key plot  detail.  This is off the point (of theism), 
but I wanted to touch on  that one detail because it's crucial to me.  
Thanks.

  I think this is what Pirsig was saying in Lila.  What struck me  most was, 
in the end, when the narrator chose to share his life with Lila.   He showed 
compassion.
