I love this article for two reasons.
One, it causes us to question our humanity, and with the greater intersection between technology and medicine, forces us to consider whether or not we are actually improving life by extending life. Many are the times I dreamt of shedding all emotion, but at what cost would I really do it?
Two, the quote from Tupac Amaru Shakur. "Everybody's at war with different things. . . . I'm at war with my own heart sometimes." I know I have absolutely nothing in common with Tupac, aside from too much anger. Still, perhaps precisely because of that anger, this statement resonates inside my own heart. Despite my hate for the world around me, I'll want nothing more than to integrate with it, become part of it. There are times I am utterly frustrated by people, yet want to hold them close and tell them that everything will be OK. Some days, I will love myself more than life, and in the same breath, hate myself more than life.
