You see, I want a lot. Perhaps I want everything the darkness that comes with every infinite fall and the shivering blaze of every step up. So many live on and want nothing And are raised to the rank of prince By the slippery ease of their light judgments But what you love to see are faces that do work and feel thirst. You love most of all those who need you as they need a crowbar or a hoe. You have not grown old, and it is not too late To dive into your increasing depths where life calmly gives out its own secret.

-Rainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours

Other common examples of encouragement or positivity include the choral “Preach” and “Amen,” the militaristic “Salute,” the acronymic (“OMG,” “LOL,” “RIP”), the topical one-name celebrity (“Beyoncé,” “Mandela”), the geographically boastful (“Paris”) or simply annunciatory (“Poughkeepsie”), and the plain-spoken “Yes,” often followed by “Jus ...yes.” Unfavorable sentiments may inspire “FAIL,” “Ugh,” “Um...,” “Yikes,” “Gross” and “No” (“Just...no”).

 The question for this issue was Do you have a human soul and can you prove it? And, of course, there was no definitive answer. A robot can do the math. A robot can spit out an answer. People, they make it up as they go along. They find connections between things where there aren’t any. They get moody, they refuse things, they take it deep inside themselves and fold it into something unrecognizable and then they set it down on the table.
