The Rants of Dankhus

The quantity of a single person can be measured in time; the more time you spend with someone, the more quantitatively important they become to you. It is, by no means, a real assessment of that particular individual and their value, but rather a self-oriented appreciation of how much you allowed yourself to be drawn into them. Fear of losing such a person is fear of self-loss and thus betrays one's insecurity about their own depth; it is fear of self-depletion. One's quality, however, can always be seen in gestures, thoughts, words etc. or else in how deep they dwell in your soul. Shallow souls, then, could never value quality over quantity and their existence cannot transcend immediate time.
