Chairs are made so that people can sit down and take a break.

Anyone can sit on a chair,

and if the chair is large enough, they can sit down together,

and tell jokes,

or make up stories,

or just listen.

Chairs are for people,

and that is why chairs are like Facebook.

Doorbells.

Airplanes.

Bridges.

These are thing people use to get together,

so they can open up and connect

about ideas

and music

and other things that people share.

Dancefloors.

Basketball.

A great nation.

A great nation is something people build,

so they can have a place where they belong.

The universe.

It is vast and dark

and makes us wonder if we are alone.

So maybe the reason we make all of these things…

is to remind ourselves that we are not.
