random deep thought

the fact that people make a living operating trains and planes and working in airports and train stations is the most major proof that i can find that i am not the center of the universe. think about it. when you pass some one on the street, don't you feel sometimes that they must just go around the corner and disappear? that the person exists only for those few moments in which you are looking at them? (and, if you only got a glimpse of their shoes, that they are just those shoes and nothing more?) yet the fact that there is a business based on their being enough daily need to get people from city to city, state to state, means that people must travel when i do not, so, clearly, i am not the center of the universe.
