People! They are imperfect and at times unprofessional. They can be unpredictable and undependable. They have a way to complicate things and mess things up. They also come up with weird excuses and irrational reasoning. Added to that they are emotional beings and that always gets in the way of everything. . . Know what I mean?
Computers on the other hand, are a totally different thing. Perfection and professionalism is easy to achieve. Complicated stuff? In a jiffy any pro could get it all sorted out. Messed up? Just press ctrl + z. As for the excuses part, they simply have none except to blame the people who use them. And the same goes for irrational reasoning. Finally they can always be safely declared 'emotionally stable'.
The reason for my elaborate comparison? Living in a computerized world we spend all our time around 'em. We are so used to computers and the way they work. In fact we have been pampered (so to speak) and expect nothing less from life, *real* life. So much so I'm beginning to realize, that both in my own life, and the world in general we may soon (or are we there already?) have no room for *real* people, b'coz real people require much too much effort!
But *Sigh*. I miss real people, real conversation and real relationships. Ever felt that way?
Dear Mister God, this is @ina talking . . . I am so glad you are real and you love everything *real* about me.
