The Importance of Journalling

Heaven forbid that one should lose their memory!

But one thing I learned from the late Julian Jaynes is that history is fleeting for the entire human-species...this because of fragmented kinship...er, I mean--Too Much Distraction(tm).

While one might mourn the loss of public-consciousness, I feel a more devastating crack in the human-psyche emerging...the overall loss of sensibility itself.

Coming to terms with the realization of a near-7-billion human-residents now living on Planet Earth is something the mathematicly-adept of us have trouble accepting...6.9 billion is a LOT of people.

Which leads to the question of whether or not love is in fact in surplus-supply.

I believe there is enough love to go around, but whether the signal is strong enough to reach every point on the globe is debatable...

I'm certain that the possible point-to-point strength...the accepting of genuine love...is in-fact LIMITED by the inherent fragility each and every indivdual on this gravitationally-linked sphere.

"Journaling" (keeping a daily diary) represents a kind of self-reassurance that public-memory itself won't forget...should it be affected by a global Alzheimer's disease.
