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?

too true. i guess this also explains why adults are not happy - because we are no longer regularly nourished by a sense of achievement, but rather we constantly experience confusion and lost - lost of possibilities outside of the track in which we seem to be stuck forever.
what a great thought for a day that has sucked pretty bad so far. :(
有人對我說
如果他人說知道自己在做什麼的時候
只有兩種理由
1. 他說謊
2. 他不知道自己在說什麼
