Till We Meet Again Steve

Steve Jobs 1955-2011Of course there is a sadness about the passing of Steve Jobs, the Apple guy, but it’s only ‘so long’ and not goodbye. Steve will be back with us very shortly, granted in a different form, but as a practising Buddhist, he believed it, and we all do too.

Steve was a charismatic and driven person, an iconic visionary in the field of consumer electronics, and computers in particular. His passing will leave an irreplaceable void in his family’s life, the Apple corporation’s hierarchy and in the business world at large.

But we should not fret for all that. He is simply taking a well earned rest from the sufferings of this life, and preparing himself for the challenges of the next. I love his products, even though I hate the ethos of the controlling nature of Apple, but one can only admire a man who made such a difference to everyone he touched. See you soon Steve.
