People are Things Too
"What kinds of things can you write checks for? besides people?"
That is the original message tied down to this. Yes, people are things too. Or are things people?
Things could very well be alive and no one would ever know. A box could have a heartbeat but it takes generations to beat once. Therefore how could anyone hear it? It could very well be on its path toward home and we'd never know since our lives come and go just like that. Just like that, to that poor box.
We may think, that's sad that it is soo slow and never gets anywhere. BUT WAIT! It may think "thats sad that those people's lives are over in a flash." A FLASH.
There could be huge giants living in our world right now, who we never see because they move so quick. Their lives are over in a nanosecond, faster. The random off balanceness you may feel daily, seemingly pointless tripping and whatnot...its not random. A giant may have just lived a whole life right in that spot, in that half a second. The wind of that life caught you off balance. They may think we are objects as well, like the box in question. They may think we have no feelings. They may think we are things too.
Goodnight Jeeves. And goodnight moon
