We make things to make life easier: a cup to hold the morning tea, a map to find the way, a small machine that keeps the room warm. But the best artificial things are not the ones that replace us. They are the ones that give us time to notice the person beside us, to ask how they are, and to stay a little longer. So when we build something new, let us ask what it helps us do. Not just what it can do for us, but what it can help us give.
