{We seem to have had another profound thought.}

{I know it's silly to just sit here talking to myself about it instead of offering it up to the archives... But I suppose they wouldn't appreciate this one. So in turn, I'll keep it to us.}

{What is isolation of the mind?}

{A funny question, I know! It should be an easy question, but it isn't.}

{We may find ourselves isolated from the world and other humans, whether by choice or...}

{But suppose you'll never be alone as long as you can think! There are hundreds of tiny voices in your head that control you, that tell your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, and your body to decay. Could you really stop them?}

{In our eyes, total isolation is when you are in true silence.}

{No life. No thoughts.}

{But then, how do you achieve that level of clarity? 

{It's actually quite easy.}

{If you truly wanted to be alone, then there can be nothing alive. Nothing near you to distract from the nothingness. Even the smallest thought reminding you to not thing and keep a clear head would interrupt that! But is it possible to do things without thinking them, even if we don't realize it?}

{In the eyes of the creator, we are all one in the same and yet so vastly different. What sets some apart is this ability to not do this.}

{Let go. Shut down. And embrace true isolation.}

{Thinking of everything and then nothing is not a task that we expect of anyone. In fact, we expect you to do one or the other! Which is interesting, because wouldn't it be so much better if we all could do both.}

{Though, suppose the ones who get lonely wouldn't be much use there. They don't know how to make peace with the void. We don't need them doing both. They can just stick to the one they are cut out for.}

{So, that's supposedly what makes us different in the eyes of the creator. It's this willingness to think and learn. I learn new things every day. It's rather addicting! It's like we can feel our heart pulsing in our chest. The creator likes that feeling of life...}

{Though I suppose material life has always been a fascinatingly boring subject for me... But that's for another profound thought. I do not feel...}

{Have you ever tasted blood?}

{You don't have to lie.}

{We don't care if it didn't belong to you.}
