Won't you ease my mind?

    Is anything ever really yours?  Have you ever really thought about it?  I mean, look around you.  Name one thing that you can truly possess, that isn't going to die, isn't going to fall apart.

People pass away, object break, get lost or stolen.  What is truly yours?  It's easy to not care about the material things, and sometimes, even people.  But when you give yourself the impression that something is actually yours?  Losing them is the scariest thing in the whole world.

Maybe Elizabeth Blake was wrong, the art of losing isn't easy.  It's just something we all get use to.

On a more metaphysical note, Jonba is asleep in a box.



Call me, call me,
Let me know it's all right.
Call me, call me,
Don'cha think it's 'bout time?

What are you scared of losing, princess? Don't worry, it will all be over soon, and you'll remember who truly loves you.


You'll never lose me.

Well like Murakami said nobody gets anything for keeps. Guess that's why you have live for the moment or whatever, carpe diem and all that crap.

Any reason why Jonba's in a box?

Unfortunately, I cannot ease your mind on this, other than to say your thoughts are yours. They, too, though, are fleeting. It is the way of the universe. We are all temporary, even the immortal, because eventually the universe will end and all things in it will end with it.
