Sometimes I wish I could turn
off my humanity. Just flip a switch, and not have to feel anymore. That
would be the ultimate relief. Not having to feel pain, or loss, or agony. I
assume it would only be fair to have to give up happiness, and pleasure, and joy
as well. I think it would be a well enough off trade. But then I would be no
better than a
mindless robot, right?
Except being human isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
It's easy to prove that you're human with every tear that falls because of that
broken heart. With every drop of
blood that drips from a fresh cut. With every searing pang of regret
over all the words you never spoke but
should have. I think what is truly hard is trying to prove to yourself
that you are not human. If only for a fleeting moment, because that is all you
need to be able to deal with the overwhelming feeling.
