that was the question posed this morning by a website called The Good Old Days. and it is one of the best questions ever. and yes, it has everything to do with paris.
despite what we are commanded, it is hard to love someone you don't know. it is hard to thank someone you've never seen.
it is hard to leave a Christmas tip for the paperboy who doesn't exist.
it is easy, at least easier, not to care about people without faces. not to even realize they are people at all.
it is hard to tip a non-existent paperboy at Christmas.
but, it's easy to blow him up.
