Senseless

A balloon filled with helium should fly. A human-being endowed with brain should be thinking. I remember, when I was a youngster, once I've seen a bunch of balloons in some room. They were hanging between floor and ceiling, without touching any surface. Too weak to rush upwards and still keeping the remains of helium molecules inside their rubber bodies - and thus unable to fall down. I came closer and cut the threads, strangling them, and they died.

Once they could think, and then I called them People. Now they barely deserve the name of human-beings. Hanging in mental vacuum and believing in their self-imposed happy-ending tales. Disguised. Maybe I should cut the threads again?..
