Rental Person Who Does Nothing

by Shoji Morimoto

Depth of discussion and depth of relationship don’t always go hand in hand.

Individuality is generally thought to be a positive thing, but it’s a very vague and abstract idea. It exists in a context of comparison; it’s a relative value that emerges only when a person is part of a group.

Every named relationship entails particular things you have to do, certain expectations that you have to meet.

there’s a neat paradox in one human who can’t rely on their own memory seeking support from another, who may not be able to rely on theirs.
