Deactivated

I was thinking along today, and decided to deactivate. There is a rhyme and a reason for this, but I won't get into it here... Here, I will discuss the concept of deactivation -

I found this definition online: deactivate [diːˈæktɪˌveɪt] vb

• 1. (tr) to make (a bomb, etc.) harmless or inoperative
• 2. (Physics / Atomic Physics) (intr) to become less radioactive
• 3. (Military) (tr) US to end the active status of (a military unit)
• 4. (Chemistry) Chem to return or cause to return from an activated state to a normal or ground state

To make harmless or inoperative - this would imply that the object which you are deactivating is dangerous. To become less radioactive - to me, this suggests poison.. interesting... To end the active status of a military unit - suggesting a purposeful season. To cause to return from an activated state to a normal state.

This last one is the one that symbolizes best my decision to deactivate.

You see, there is this element that I realized is rather potentially harmful. A bit radioactive, if you will... and I find it fitting that the term used to end your friendship with this element is to deactivate... Hmm...
