you mean machines are like humans?"I shook my head. "No, not like humans. With machines the feeling is, well, more finite. It doesn't go any further. With humans it's different. The feeling is always changing. Like if you love somebody, the love is always shifting or wavering. It's always questioning or inflating or disappearing or denying or hurting. And the thing is, you can't do anything about it, you can't control it. With my Subaru, it's not so complicated.
In the book "Dance Dance Dance" by Haruki Murakami, the narrator reflects on the differences between machines and human emotions. He emphasizes that while machines, like his Subaru, have finite feelings that don't change, human emotions are complex and ever-evolving. Love, for instance, is described as a dynamic force that can fluctuate, bringing in confusion and lack of control, unlike the straightforward nature of a machine's performance.
This comparison highlights the intricate nature of human relationships and feelings, which are influenced by various factors and can deeply impact one's inner world. In contrast, machines deliver reliability and consistency, making the emotional experience of humans richer yet more challenging to navigate. This distinction serves to underscore the complexity of being human in a world that also involves dependable machinery.
