As I grew older I ended up gaining more and more and more connections from people of different walks of life and those from different parts of the world. As I value each individual connection to its independent merit I am often met with the conundrum of where will this connection lead to or when does it end. It also often occurs to me, how do I value an emergency call from a person who I haven’t spoken to in weeks if not months or years. Am I the only person in their circles they believe to be worth reaching out to in that particular situation? I don’t know. But all I can speak to or attest to is the idea that each such connection only increases the risk of being unavailable to those that are relatively closer than others, those that are rather important, but now this fetches the thought of who’s important and on what scale do we measure this sense of importance.

In a very recent argument with a person of interest to me, a thought line was brought out, how would you treat my emergency to that of a friend in the time of desperate need? I responded that I would try and weigh the gravitas of independent travesties and attend to them in the order of highest to the least of magnitudes and somehow this caused a serious rift after which they choose that it is a bad trait and I should always consider this person at the top of my list. For me, I think it doesn’t work that way, I value problems as objective problems and people as people. I find the idea of equality amusing when people often express the idea of a priority assigned to them and boast about being empathetic. This may read like rambling but think of it, this is just increasing the entropy of a state, of that connection and those of connections that will only continue to rise in number and in complexity.
