Profiles

AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND BIOGRAPHY compliment each other beautifully, giveing us valuable differing perspectives on lives. Rather than digging a hole, preserving the body, burying it, and marking its location with a rock, inculcate a custom of rendering life histories on the internet. More fulfilling ro remember someone by reading or hearing their own words than by looking at a rock.

the process has already started. thereare profiles of people all over the internet, dating sites and such like. more often than not, even these truncated packets of information yield interesting, indicative nuggets.

an attractive middle aged lady wrote,  under "religious preferences":   

If you don't believe in god then I don't want you to believe in me."

It might help to go over it a couple times, maybe with a good stiff drink in between. This begs the question: if I am an  athiest, i should pretend that you don't exist either? You'd better hope I'm not tailgating you on the interstate. meanwhile, does she plan to accept the existence of athiests, or to reciprocate, and pretend they don't exist?

Feeling generous, I wanted to comfort her. I wanted to help. So I typed to her: "not only do i believe in god, i believe in everybody's god, because everybody's god is the same god. - i  know i believe in my god, and i know i believe in your god as well, in other words."

she didn't respond.  oh well, her loss. can't we all just get along? if we all write autobiographies, biographies, or just fill out questionaires, surveys, and profiles, we are definitely going to have some interesting information brought forth. still, better than a rock in the ground. as long as we are careful what we say on our profiles..
