Should you aim to be special, or comfortable? Should you fiercely tackle your goals, or just let things happen on their own? Is it possible that your instincts are too premature? Should you let time smooth out your apprehension? Does that work? Should you pray? Does THAT ever work?
If you just let life happen, follow your nature, and live in the moment, your cowardly and irresponsible.
If you concentrate on work, keep your eyes on the finish line, and put all of your efforts towards producing something, your uptight and even selfish.
Why does everything contradict itself?
Why is the thing that feels right and best only a hobby, a blip in the way my time is spent?
Will I learn more about human nature from that author's point of view, or would it be more valuble to learn on my own?
I think that I know my answers. But I'm waiting for permission.
