Saying Goodbye

Man, by design, is an individual.

No two people are identical, and no two people ever share the same thoughts.

Each and every one of us lives alone in our thoughts, and each and every one of us fall fate to our own devices.

Much like computers, which were made to think in the likeness of us, are we in many respects.

As an aside, an odd relationship to think about. They say God made us in his likeness, and we have made computers in ours. What does that tell us about God? Could a computer ever comprehend how we have designed and what thought went into it? It is so limited. Ask the same thing about the nature of God and ourselves.

Computers are truely alone, they feel nothing, they have no emotion, because they are all the same, because they never interact with one another.

And therein lies the difference.

We interact with one another.

We have emotions.

Emotions, derived from our need to explain our feelings for each other.

Without emotion, we would never survive. Without each other, we would never survive.

These bonds of emotion and of feeling run deeper than any knowledge we can surmise, deeper than anything a computer could ever do for us.

It is our lifeblood.

This is why death is the darkest of our observances.

This is why saying goodbye comes close.

There is a feeling associated with this...

Its the feeling that the world has less in it. That a home you just lived in shrank and forced you out of it. That the music you played for a silent room never existed. That anything you do means less. That nothing you do means anything.

That there's a deep hole in your heart.

That your missing your heart.

Even food doesnt taste good.

Its ok.

Its feelings like these that let you know you're human.

Its feelings like these that let you know you're never going to be alone.

The world could fall, and the sun could never rise again, and still you would know, just because of this feeling, that you wont ever be alone.

Embrace it.

Own it.

Its yours.

The world wont fall, the sun will rise.

But its nice to have a constant, something to keep you company.
