"Even if you hate me, I won't love you any less." ~Notti A friend of mine said that seemed to be a little depressing. When I asked her why she said because she didn't want to imagine anyone hating me. It really wasn't meant to seem depressing in any way. It was more of a statement of where I stand. If every I care for you or love you there isn't anything that will change the way I feel. My love is unconditional, no matter what form.


Are we human, or are we dance? 
This line as most would know it as a line from a song by The Killers. It was taken from a journalist by the name of Hunter S. Thompson.
In this song, dancer is used as a metaphor for an orchestrated, rehearsed act. Something without individuality. Without emotion and in a sense a hollow act. A dancer has no room for individuality when in groups, like a person in society, they have to follow an exact pattern that everyone else does. If you have ever seen a dancer make a mistake it is very noticeable.
So when he says are we human or are we dancer, he is comparing someone who is human. Not as a species or living being, but as a quality. Human meaning emotional and individual, with the ability to think for oneself. Then the word dance is also used as a quality, not as a noun. Which is why there is no   's' at the end. Because he does not mean a bunch or group of dancers, but rather he is asking if the world is full of people with the quality of a dancer. Are we individual or are we all following an exact pattern that everyone else does in society?
For the majority I think we are dancer, but there are a rare few who chose to be free thinkers and keep their individuality. I am human.
