Ah, yes, can't see the forest for the trees! Since I do not go to a barber, my wife cuts my hair, and it's never over my ears, I never thought of it. Touche, Tal, your win, I think. As I loose, someone else can come up with another puzzle.

Some of us cry

Right. Then I will come up with another puzzle!
I have always existed
Though some cannot conceive that
And in some languages
I have not even a name
Long have men scoffed
And argued about my reality,
Nix. Naught. Nothing.
Yet still I remain.
For I am the one certainty
In this mad universe
Totally unchanged because
No matter what they may throw at me
I shall always remain whole
My destiny decided
Try as hard as you will
But I cannot be divided.
Who or what am I?

I was going to say God, oh heck ILL stick with it God??
or maybe death? gravity is another one that comes to mind
My mission in life is to make YOU smile

You are the number zero, mon ami.

Although zero has always been around, (i.e., you could always possess nothing.), it has been misunderstood. Indeed, many cultures have no concept of the number zero, and no name for it. Nix, Naught, and Nothing are just other names for zero. It has been argued mathematically that zero is not really a number. And of course, although you may multiply by zero, you may not divide by it.

Here's one:
I have a heart that never beats,
I have a home but I never sleep.
I can take a mans house and build anothers,
And I love to play games with my many brothers.
I am a king among fools.
Who am I?
Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
the whole boatload of sensitive!

An interesting one. One hint. Somewhere in all the rigmarole, the name is actually there.
Although my number is zero
I am of The Upper Echelon
Where I wander among the others.
See, here I drink from a cup,
As I lean upon a borrowed rod,
Go fleeing from a drawn sword.
My pay is never more than ten coins.
I dare not speak at all
For to do so would reveal me for what I am
But If I remain voiceless and silent
Men count me among the wise.
Do you know you I am,
Or have I fooled you like the rest?

Ten coins. Swords. Cups. Rod. Upper Eschelon.

The Fool
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
"Tarot" sticks in my mind, but it doesn't seem right...
Por una cabeza
Si ella me olvida
Qué importa perderme
Mil veces la vida
Para qué vivir
,Yes, indeed, that was the line that gave the name! And Robin, Tarot is correct as well, since Zero is the Fool's number on his card. There is an upper eschelon, as I put it ( major arcana), numbered 0 to 21, then four suites (minor arcana) Swords, Cups, Rods, and either Coins, Disks, or Pentacles numbered ace to ten with four face cards.We are thinking that this passage might be important.
Ten coins. Swords. Cups. Rod. Upper Eschelon.

Four or thirteen—
Which is my number?
Or since things are never what they seem,
Are they just to make you stumble?
There is no country where I am not known;
No tongue that does not name me.
Some fear me, and their terrors grow—
Others worship me intently.
Do not let shadows daunt and blind you—
Recall the path made by Jack the Ripper’s blade—
Reality leads on to its proper conclusion—
That past history records the dire deeds—
Which following said trail, you have found a name.
If the rhyme doesn’t give you the clue you need, follow the directions given in the five lines. Read correctly according to clue, the name is revealed.
