Coil — A Circle of Children

当我从椅子醒来的时候,看到我左右的人离开了。
他们虽然还在附近,但却不再身边。
顿时间有种被背叛、被抛弃、被遗弃的感觉。
剩下的只有孤单、落寞、和失望的灵魂。

做事常常事以愿违,常常力不从心。
一心想去普拉提卡,却必须
交钱。
一心想去西阿母伊,时机却不妥当。
一心想去见老朋友,却只得到孤单。
一心想得到的东西,却等也等不到。
但最伤心的是找不到可以谈心的人。


What is lost? Usually it mean you don't know where you are.

But sometime you know where you are, yet you are still lost,
simply because you don't know where to go.

But sometime you know where to go, yet you still lost,
simply because you don't know how to go.

But sometime you know how to go, yet you still lost,
simply because you can't reach the place that you want to go.

But sometime you reached the place that you want to go, yet you still lost,
simply because you didn't get what you expected, even after you have tried so hard.

But sometime you get what you expected, yet you still lost,
simply because the thing that you expected doesn't matter anymore, and what you get is just tireness.

People feel sad when they are lost, not because they don't know what to do or where to go, but simply because no one help him or accompany him when he was lost. People seek for a companion, because it is not good for man to be alone. That's why people said it is not important to where are you going to travel, but is with whom you are going to travel.

Even the robots in the movie I, Robot will come and gather together in the dark, and the androids in Eve no Jikan (The Time of Eve) seek for a better relationship between themselves and humans, how much more man wanted to have a companion.

Yet is not easy to find a suitable companion. 知音难寻。It is difficult to find a companion that understands what is your need, a companion that has the same goal with you, a companion that can tolerates your bad behaviour. To find a companion is not like just involving in a relationship, but committing in it.

What is the difference between involve and commit? It is just like a egg-and-ham breakfast, in this case the chicken involved but the pig committed. But I think not much people want to be a pig.

Though of same kind, but it seems like human cannot understands each other. Though speaking of same language, but it seems like the words can't never reach the heart and mind of a person. This is also the main theme of the anime Dennou Coil, from where I got the title for this post.

"There will always be a distance between people, and even between things that seem within ones' reach. And that one must walk down a long, thin and winding road before they reach one's heart. There's tons of obstacles. It's in fact like the roads in towns of old."
from the anime Dennou Coil
