Instrumentality is kind of akward.

Step XV
Humanity

I don't know how many of you have seen the Japanese animated series entitled Neon Genesis Evangelion, but I was discussing it recently, and I found a veritable torrent of thoughts pouring out of my head.

I think on the whole, it is about communication. The exchange between each other. How a simple human creature can relate to something else.

I used to have this rather contrived belief, or rather, I professed to having this contrived belief, that humanity shared a single consciousness. I feel like refining that.

I don't believe that we have any sort of "mind-meld" or "hive mind". It is like there is a single pervading connection throughout everyone. If we don't share this flow of life or energy or what have you, then I think there is no way we could relate to such complicated creatures as humans.

If we didn't have any kind of underlying, primal connection, then we would be adrift in a sea of bleak thoughts and dark tomorrows.

That communication, the exchange, that spark you feel when someone can grasp what you are attempting to say. I think that is the beauty of being human.
