Is there always a time when I feel like I'm
disappearing

That afternoon when I feel like I'm disappearing
I want someone to hug me

Hugs are special to me, it
's the feeling of two people being together with all their hearts

The tactile
hug of my whole body will make me feel that I really exist here,

using others to prove my existence
is Ah,

if there is no ID card, health insurance card,
all the documents and tools to prove who

I am, how can I prove my existence?
So we Depend on others

and cannot exist alone.

Because we don't only belong to us
, we belong to all those who know you, gave birth to you, raised you, and have an intersection with you.

Because of intersection, there is a relationship.
If one day I suddenly disappear and die

, the self among those people will also disappear. To commit suicide is to murder the self in
other people's hearts,

so suicide is a very cruel multiple murder.
Not just killing myself once....

but what if there's no one to hug each other?
Then get out in the rain

When the rain hits me
I feel every skin on my body calling me to pay attention to it

Tell
me I'm here I'm here I'm here...

don't forget about me...
so it's good to get soaked and

at least they tell you you're alive.

We know and understand who we are through our own memory


Learn what you like and what kind of person you are through past experience .

But if one day even our own memories can be tampered with
, then who are we? Who

am I?

Even family, friends, colleagues and partners who like hobbies and interests don't recognize it. Is this considered alive
? Drinking and sleeping doesn't seem to change anything in everyday life It's just that your ego has been murdered hundreds of thousands of times and the saddest thing is that you don't even remember yourself... so sad... death and disappearance Which one is the most sentimental? Disappearing is ambiguous because you don't know if he's dead or alive I'd rather you die than you disappear I hate ambiguity I want an affirmative answer to make sure a person really dies and does it well She's crying a lot better than the feeling of not knowing where the person is drifting I don't want to disappear... I'm practical so I want practical answers and results I want a real feeling of being alive I don't want to disappear.

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • [last lines]

    Major Motoko KusanagiPuppet Master: And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite.

  • Puppet Master: I refer to myself as an intelligent life form because I am sentient and I am able to recognize my own existence, but in my present state I am still incomplete. I lack the most basic processes inherent in all living organisms: reproducing and dying.

    Major Motoko Kusanagi: But you can copy yourself.

    Puppet Master: A copy is just an identical image. There is the possibility that a single virus could destroy an entire set of systems and copies do not give rise to variety and originality. Life perpetuates itself through diversity and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary. Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information. Only genes remain. Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system.
