I had company over today. I'm convinced that people are programmed for face to face interraction. People need to look into each other's eyes, hear a man's laughter upon the punchline of his own joke, feel the touch of a woman's hand as she tells a deeply personal story. People need to share food together, be entertained together, get out and enjoy the blessing of the good weather together.
The nice thing about in-person interraction or phone conversation and maybe even IM to the slightest extent is that you can sit there with the other person and just be in his presence and still be satisfied. That's something you can't get out of e-mails and messages and blogs. You can't both receive a sense of peace by just sitting there, breathing together. It's a special thing to be able to share with someone. Very special indeed.
