Reflections in convalescence. We all define ourselves, directing ourselves, in terms of the people around us. Some more, some less. Many of us cherish our relationships with other people, as deeply personal affairs - yet to many others these are petty formalities. I am often struck by how absent my values are, with regards to other people; (intentionally ambiguous phrasing). Every time the machine presents me with a relationship, past, or potential, I wonder ... what is it worth? And then I figure the only way to find out its function, is to accept. Those unaccepted are literally write-offs. Yet what is written-off at a time, may not be written-off at a future time. Accept or Reject?
