While I was walking home last night a car drove by beeping its horn at me. I found this very annoying. People who do that to others always confuse me. Do they have any developed thoughts in their mind? Do they feel fleeting emotions or do they just carry on in a drone like state until either they become aware of themselves or die? As he drove off I was annoyed at him but what was if nothing more than a distraction to me. All he did was interrupt my silence and is that such a bad thing?
He flew away and before long it was as though he had never existed. He was gone and I would never see him again. Surely the contempt I felt for him would disappear too and it did. How would that make him feel? He surely did what he did to make a statement but all he achieved was to be forgotten. Is it better to be forgotten or never noticed though? Who knows? Who cares?
This man’s existence was removed from me very fast. I wonder how long it would take for me to do likewise. I could quickly offend all my friends and then slowly drift away from everyone who associates themselves with me. Then when I wake up every morning would I be nonexistent to others like the way this man no longer exists to me. Sure, in a time relative to their attachment to me I would also be forgotten just like he was.
Relationships are brittle.
