Points to ponder
Believe it or not, I found something pretty profound from an RPS fic. thenyxie ? Is a genius.
“Okay. Not doing something you want is obviously a kind of control. But how can doing what you want be a type of control? And I thought, maybe the difference is in the thinking about it. You know, making an informed decision instead of just… reacting.”
... "When you have control of yourself, you learn how to live with want. But, you also have the ability to decide, on your own terms, to indulge in a want. The difference is in understanding that you have a choice, being aware of what you're doing, rather than simply giving in to an urge blindly."
Taken from here.
