What the variables are to the equation that humans create for themselves concerning the people they meet and interact with remains a mystery to me. I attempt time and time again to play this game of interpersonal interaction, setting myself up in positions I think will be valuable to others, and time and time again I fail. Hello monastery, another monk arrives.
It appears that I’ve become unworthy of the priveleges of human interaction and communication. I go shopping on my days off so that I can use my voice. If it wasn’t for the store clerks, I would open my mouth for no reason other than to fill it with food. Or to fill it with the instruments of my self-medication. Time for sleep.
