Hello monty and All, It does hit a nerve ..... so many people on Spaceship Earth now ..... doing the same things ... no matter how exotic.
1953 .... not so long ago .....
I am reminded of an old Japanese short story ....
A Japanese salaryman lived in a multi story appartment building ... each apartment had a different color door ... for a ways down the hall .... and then the door color sequence would repeat.
One night he came home ... tired .... asked his wife for his slippers .... and newspaper ... and some tea.
She obliged.
After finishing the tea he realized he was in the wrong apartment .... apologized and left for his apartment.
The sameness of the event affected him .... was everyone the same?
The salaryman started carrying dynamite in his briefcase to and from work .....
About 2 months later there was an explosion near his building killing some occupants.
An investigation determined that a man that lived in an apartment building nearby was carrying dynamite and there was an accident ... no motive for his behavior was determined.
The salaryman wondered what he should do ............
Cheers, Neal
