talking to an abyss

As I was walking down Houston St. two days ago, I saw a crazy person sitting on a bench and talking to an invisible person (1). He was probably homeless, but he was definitely crazy. I kept walking and thought about this for a while. Then I remembered as a child, I would have trouble praying. My father told me to put an empty chair in front of me and talk as if God was sitting in front of me in that chair (2). Shortly after I remembered this, I saw a man sitting in a cafe talking on his Blue Tooth (3).

Although each individual part can be justified as sanity, one questions whether or not this individual ACTUALLY is completely nuts. Check it:

1. in the first example, i'm sure the insane person could tell you that that person is standing there, and you should talk to him
2. in the second example, i would tell you that i was talking to the creator of the universe
3. in the third example, the business man could tell you that he was talking to his cousin in Ohio

Who's to say they're not right? Logic? If we were to determine that I am insane, talking to an empty chair (which is obviously not logical in itself because it's dealing with means of spirituality), not only would a christian argue against you, but would be OFFENDED by your logic. If we were to determine that the man on the blue tooth is, in fact, not talking to his cousin in Ohio, he would simply tell you he was because he "hears his voice".

Are cell phones and blue tooths technology's way to prove that physical communication is irrelevant? well, duh. But imagine if every-fucking-person had a blue tooth and talked on it all the time. We might all go back to stage 1 where the homeless man is. This could occur from simply the info dump on us as the age of communication continues more and more drastic.

Good morning tuesday. I'm taking a cute girl out to dinner tonight.
