names are handles.
whether soundwaves, or slender curving shapes on paper, or neat rows of dots on screen.
tying down elusive concepts, and like any other handle, a name is a convention, a tool.
a tool to distinguish one in many.
can you truly touch something nameless?
can you understand a concept, for which there are no words?
can you connect to a selfless soul?
to me, anonymity seems to imply certain selflessness, for if there is no distinction between any two units of crowd - the concept of self seems not to be applicable to any of the units any more.

i am truly sorry to put you, singular and unique beings, through those ungraceful ramblings of my mind, but most of my communication today takes place in the virtual "world", and the concept of loneliness is often on my mind.
i wonder, how much merit communication bears, if it remains a cloud of words, untied to any name.
