Computers are designed to mimic the brain. Certainly, they do things the human brain, or any other for that matter, cannot, but their basic functioning; their code is to mimic thought and execute action. In this way the computer acts through variables and absolution. Something either is or it is not. Which for the purposes of programming is quite useful. There can be numeric values and there can be “if” statements; things that are more complex than a 0 or 1. However, things still only exist as one or another. The values and statements merely seek to determine how that thing will interact or what will occur at a given moment.

               People are the same in the sense that they seek absolution. They want all things to be or not to be. They want right and wrong. This is the greatest fallacy of mankind. It is what leads to such intense and, and the end of the day, meaningless struggle. People argue over right or left, red or blue, up or down, socialism or capitalism but they do not understand that life, and more importantly, society is not so easily color coded. There exists a blurry gray middle ground, between the dark and light, where balance should lie. All things will not be perfectly between two extremes and all things will not be the same. There is no one philosophy or one ideology that will bring peace, solidarity, or success. The world and its countless aspects are ever changing. All things need to evolve and to create new understanding just the same. The only thing that should be constant but never will is kindness. It is always a good time to be kind.
