Now, all our days are rather filled with work. Endless work. It's as if all the machines were protesting too.
Flashback:
Someone brought up the point that we humans end up being slaves to everything we created: like computers, machines (in general), and money. Now in retrospect, we have also become slaves to time. We invented the notion of time, derived from basic and complicated mathematics and laws of nature. Yet, here we are, chasing after time.
As for the machines, there is no doubt that we are now slaves to them. While I sit here typing away in the darkness of the night, I think about how any computer can just crash without warning (no, really); how any car can just stop working before we know it (god forbid); and how we can't stop all this.
I guess that is also why there are so many sayings in English and Bahasa Malaysia regarding humans and their plans: "plans of mice and men oft go awry" (one example)
End of flashback
Good night.
