I often wonder what life would be like if I lived in a vacuum. I’ve learned a lot about the things that physicists of the past had to say. Newton for instance formulated the idea of motion within vacuum. Formally known as the law of inertia. Maxwell’s equations describes the way these unbeknownst quantities called fields (Electric and Magnetic) behave in vacuum.

I’ve learned a lot about these phenomena over the past two years which I’ve been studying them. I’ve learned so much about them that I can confidently say that they fail to describe my experience on the day to day, in particular the feelings and emotions I have when interacting with other people.

I bet this comes as no surprise, but human interaction does not occur in vacuum. Too often I find myself attempting to genuinely interact with others and walking away feeling more distant than ever. This distance leaves me in confusion , pondering what is it that I’ve done wrong? Especially when you know that you’ve done nothing but been your authentic self.

You ultimately chalk it up to people just hating, but you do still wonder why. You know their cowardice will never allow them to express it to you directly, so you pick up on their passive aggression and lack of interaction.

If I lived in a vacuum would I finally know peace within myself. Suppose you did live in a vacuum, you’d certainly stop feeling the need to express your failure at human interaction as jealousy and envy. However, if you’re like me you may then begin to question why am I here or what is my purpose? Then you will shortly realize with these questions come the same emotions that you experience when trying to interact with others which I described earlier.

Sincerely,

Lord Claiborne
