The Human Program
There's always a fatal error in any program:
The continuous-loop program
with no variation on a theme,
or too much variation on the theme
begins to look and feel like hell,
which is a metaphoric program.
(heaven is an unprogrammed program.)
All programs are generally improved
with newer programs,
however that also is an endless process,
and we may not have *time*,
wherewithal and inclination to upgrade.
Some programs are infected
with intentionally-placed viruses,
this challenges the operating system
and sometimes serves to destroy it.
All programs need to be run
on some sort of *operating system*;
the operating system itself has only
so many *years* of virtual operating.
Where do I put myself? Do I need to reboot?
Ask me yesterday, a week ago, now,
a year from now, you'll get a different answer,
based on my relative virtual reality
depending on the programs that are running
and how well my system is being maintained
from within and without.
The Anna-program has no back-up program installed.
