| | There comes a time in a person's life, when one begins to wonder if all this agonizing struggle day in and day out is actually doing anything. Or if the future is out of one's hands, and ultimately the road map carved on your forehead will be followed as if it was a new cab driver's gps instructions. Will the castles made of sand drift into the sea eventually ? (Hendrix - respect)
I like to believe that the future is solely the result of actions prior to it, these actions aren't always made by a conscious being (i.e. nature). For instance to build up a monstrous metaphor, imagine all actions; small, big, smelly, life altering etc. etc. to be waves. So if one starts such a "wave" today, it might be forgotten and ignored as an insignificant event. But in fact like the shark in the Jaws movie, it has been sneaking right beside you and once you're caught of guard the "wave" turns into a "tsunami"-like reaction or not.
So far all is easy to follow, what makes this rather lame metaphor into a, multidimensional simulation of reality is the fact that you're not the only whose making these "waves". Actions of other people also resonate towards the future and together form more complex reactions. Some might be intentional, most aren't, to further build on the "wave" concept one might say: some waves amplify each other and thus grow in strength; some waves are completely orthogonal and thus are utterly unaffected by each other; and some phase shifted so that they cancel each other out. But most fall in the broader " somehow affect each other"-category.
Some people think they don't hold the joystick of their fate in their hands; that there's a grande or otherwise plan laid out in front of them, all they have to do is to match their feet into the footprints marked out in front of them. whilst others argue that you're the only person who with hard work, a jug of sweat and a bag of (non-donateable) blood will be the sole contributor to your future. Then there's those who think, although we dont have a joystick that can take us exactly where we want to, we still have the control over the rudder of our ship (with sails and the whole shabang) which we can try to steer with or against the winds that ultimately decides our destination (ok that made me puke a little, but I had no choice..)
Uh my pasta seems ready, catch you later?
(Unless your neighbour decides to pick up his mail on his way back instead of his usual morning routine, and thus allowing the local mail thief who incidentally chose this unorthodox day of your neighbour's to stick his grubby hands into his mail box and unknowingly picking up his lab results from the check up he went to after feeling a sharp pain around his liver last week thus unknowingly causing his urgent ambulance visit two days later when the pain was so unbearable he collapsed right in front of you when you were on your way to shop some groceries which made you call the earlier mentioned ambulance and accompanying him to the emergency room therefore ultimately missing my next post which coincidentially happened to be on the same day ...)
Ain't life complicated?
