Who cares??

It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road.

You see, we don't disappear. We, the people, just think we do. We think we disappear. We think we evaporate. We think we dry up. We think we drown. We think we are some stupid superhero who will save everyone else from a Royal pain in the ass. We think we are actually doing something fruitful. We think 'oh my gosh, i'm so cynical. That is so ultra-cool!'. We think we are such a liability for our watchman's son's pet frog. We think "DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM!". We think that we are thinking. We love to think.
                          But actually, we are just crossing a road, pausing to check if some car is approaching us, we stand in the middle of the road, the traffic police makes a weird face, and we cross the road and reach the otherside. The end of the discussion. Or is it???
