i had an extremely powerful urge to quit my job today. no real reason, i just felt like it.
i mean, i didnt do it, but i could have - and i guess thats whats been on my mind today.
the power of choice.
as human beings, we are all supposedly entitled to those few inalienable rights - freedom of choice being the one in question. we are apparently capable of accomplishing great tasks and choosing our own destinies.
so... where's the proof?
i mean, we're trying so hard to conquer the galaxy and cure cancer and do all of this other shit, but we've gotten nowhere. instead, all i see is people making the choice to become more and more fucked up, to screw things up farther than the generation before them.
not to say that i myself am completely unscathed by such choices - hell, for a long time all i did was make poor choices. but it still surprises me to finally look at things from a new perspective and see just how far off the path we've ventured as a species.
