big buddha

figure

grew up trying to figure things out. it seemed, things, were to be figured out. to solve a math problem. to write the A essay. to throw a great party. to win a match.

these days, even before getting to the problem itself, is figuring which problem to figure out. to prioritize which seemingly unanswerable question to address first.

health? next business idea? photography? poverty in china? the environment?

in real life, by choosing to proceed along a particular path, it also precludes us from ever finding out if other paths could have worked better, or worse.

so what matters, and at what point in time?
