If you knew every idea in my mind it would scare you. It would scare you that one person thinks and feels so many things all at once. That one person may think of everything and nothing all at the same time.
Frankly, I don't want you to know. I don't want you to know how I busted my right eyebrow in grade school and now live with this stigma that I feel my face is uneven. Also, I don't want anyone to know about the scar along my hairline, I keep my hair long for that. I also don't want anyone to know about the time I lost myself to anger and nearly put someone in the hospital. I don't want any of that divulged, nor any of my other secrets.. because they are mine.
People are allowed to have secrets. Things about them they want no one else to know. We are complex that way. We are human that way. To know everything of every moment is a scary thought. We as a people already worry too much what everyone else is doing, saying, or thinking about one another. Do we really need more? Do we really need to fully in the know about one another?
I think not. We need mystery. We need one another, and yet for some it is harder to be close to others than most. Some worry how others receive them, while for others it is just a simple fact that they love everyone like I do, and simply want to be around them. Humans have thorns, as all the most beautiful things do. We cannot go on thinking we can always keep them from people, but we can't let some program do it for us.
If technology is to become more, we have to become more.
