You
may or may not know that several years ago I entered into a contract with what can only be described as a super
secret organisation (SSO). This agreement meant I had the opportunity to experience
life from a variety of different vantage points. I was turned temporarily into
a dog, a planet, a pirate, a super hero and a ghost, as well as several other
entities.
I
had some amazing experiences. The one that has left it mark most indelibly in
my data bank is when I was a planet. I’m obsessed with space and, despite the inevitable
isolation I experienced during my time as a celestial body, it’s going to be
hard to beat in terms of life experiences. Being a ghost was a right laugh too,
for a bit.
But
the reason I'm saying all this is that, although I have learnt so much and am
grateful to have experienced and seen more than anyone could ever reasonably
expect, I’m happiest now that I am a permanent human again.
Humans
have the potential to shape their own experiences and to display and receive empathy
in ways fun-sounding things like cars and ghosts and planets can never hope to understand.
A
human is a fantastic thing to be. Congratulations.
