The Fact That Dogs Are Not People

Animals Can Seem More Pure. Without Complication, I Mean, Animals Are Selfless. What Animals Do For Us, They Do Out Of Instinct.

I've Used Twitter Now And Again To Try To Figure Something Out; It's An Amazing Resource. But I Think You Have To Use It Judiciously: It's A Self-selected Group, So It's Important Not To Start Thinking Of It As The Whole World.

Now We're E-mailing And Tweeting And Texting So Much, A Phone Call Comes As A Fresh Surprise. I Get Text Messages On My Cell Phone All Day Long, And It Warbles To Alert Me That Someone Has Sent Me A Message On Facebook Or A Reply Or Direct Message On Twitter, But It Rarely Ever Rings.

I've Noticed Lately That It Seems Most Intimate To Not Use Any Closing On Your E-mail At All, Because It Seems To Make It Feel Like You Are Engaged In An Ongoing Conversation - As If This One E-mail Doesn't Represent The Beginning And End Of The Interaction But Is Just Part Of A Perpetual Loop Of Friendly Back-and-forth.

I Would Argue That It Might Be Easier To Endure Loneliness Than To Endure The Idea That You Might Disappear.
