| 54. We can be anonymous everywhere |
|
I live in a small town, but have lived here for only two years. I feel anonymous most of the time. When I go to the nearby small city, there anonymity is amplified even more. I know none of these people and they don't know me. If I am mean to them, I will not suffer even indirectly through their suffering as I might if we lived together in a close knit community. We don't have roots. Everything and everyone is just transient. We are anonymous to a great many people.
