As they say, it’s a small world. Even in teamwork, we are given all the space and leeway to estimate individual costs and benefits. There is less baggage. It becomes less personal. We don’t share fully with one another. So we are closer yet as far apart as we can make it while together. Goodbyes are less frequent and said less. Even more so with SNS and all the craze these days and yet, we think and feel farther apart from one another. We are bound to have an introduction and individual preparation before even making decisions. Some would say that there is no practice in life and yet they’ve had all the preparation previous generation wish they had growing up.

Some things are better not said yet everybody is aware of what was said. As long as most everyone can tolerate, what happened is agreed upon. Not everything needs to be disclosed. If one or few needs to suffer out of necessity, so be it. Human society as usual. Some say they learned more in the last twenty years than in the last two hundred years. Would the last twenty have been possible without the two thousand building slowly from scratch? We are pressing buttons, regurgitating what we’ve been fed. What we say or do has been done before by those who have gone before us. Technology and cast of character may be different but the same basic human story unfolds again and again. It is best to keep to oneself in most matters. Say something and it becomes a waste. It used to be that you can make mistakes and share. You could cry or sing or shout with one another but not as often these days. We seem to be closer but we are not. We are as far apart as we can be from one another.
