This is why the world is spinning and why we didn't notice it. This is why we feel the need to believe in God. This is why we watch stars and name the planets like our children. This is why we see in letters and numbers and black and white. This is why we are scared to use butcher knives without supervision. This is why we want to die, but not now.
