Alone or not

Today started in a strange way as a small gnat flew into my right eye and that sucked. Later this evening as I went for a run another small bug flew into my other eye - I mean c'mon, seriously ? How can that happen two times one in each eye in the same damn day ?? how does that happen ? I mean what are the odds ?

I watched the end of "Up in the Air" tonight and it was a really good movie, very well written. The notion and philosophy of the main character (George Clooney) is very interesting. The notion that we are all alone and relationships are not really necessary. The main character states the people we have in our lives are baggage that weigh you down. I find it interesting because in some ways we are all alone, I agree with that notion - But - I do believe that true meaning in life comes from how we impact other people's lives in a positive way. So in my mind our relationships are critical to the footprints we leave in this world. It isn't left in what we do or what we create but out footprints are left in the people we touch.
