windy night..

hmm..recently been thinking about this question from H0lb0's class..i am not the same person that i was yesterday,of last month,or last year..or 5 min ago..so,i'm in flux..which means,the me that was me 5 min ago doesn't exist anymore..no more..became something else now..so,that means that for people u (ok,i) don't see often, or for a very long time, the person i think of as my friend isn't the same person as i know le..my friend was the friend whom i last saw,not who i'm seeing now..which links me to another topic..say,u haven't seen a (rather close) friend (from the past) for a long time..then,meet up and talk about stuff..how do u noe u are still (relatively) close friends?like,see if you still feel close?feel the chemistry?tsk,looked up the definition,and the various definitions don't look very...useful..so neway,definition of friend involves either practical considerations or subjective personal opinions/feelings..so going by the latter angle,how you know for sure?like,if u think of someone as a clsoe friend,n think that you get along well,how do you know that it's reciprocal?like,the person could be the same way towards all his other normal (i.e. less than close) friends,no? so..if u meet up with a close [friend from before=A] n the [person now=B] isn't [the same person as before i.e. A] (cuz obviously people change), are you still close friends with the person (A who is now B)? which links back to the first question..since people are in flux, then what u feel towards/think about them are..not updated,no?then the person u are feeling for/thinking about (from the past) doesn't really exist in the now then,ya?so that entity has effectively ceased to exist,to be replaced by a newer version of the person u used to noe but don't noe now...

then again,this problem (of not actually knowing) would still persist even with constant contact and communication,since nobody really noes what others actually are inside. hmm,i believe i just demonstrated my waste of time...
