it's often said that it's easy for people to lose their human touch and become robots. but I think we're all trying hard to become robots. and it's easy to lose focus and become human. because it's our default mode to have a heart. to love and to care.

so how do you get back the edge when you've lost it? how do you re-wrap the bubble wrap when it gets undone? how do you mend what's broken?

we try desperately to draw lines and boundaries. we try to keep people out. but really, we're just keeping ourselves in. and as much as we try, we can't survive that way. we feed on love. we really do. and sometimes, that invading of personal space is exactly what we need to stay alive.

but how do you know who are the right people? what happens when you let the wrong people in? how do you undo the damage they've done?

it's all a matter or trial and error. although there is of course the role of judgement but that's not really accurate most of the time. so we're just down to luck. a game of chance.

and like all other games of chance, there is that 99% chance we lose. and we get hurt.

that's why we fence up.

it's not worth it just for that slim chance.

so I ask the pressing question again. How do you get back the EDGE when you've lost it? the edge that keeps the human out. the edge that gives you the drive to be at the top of your game.
