On the Other Hand

Right or left?

It's hard to look for a third option, especially when we're looking for a change.

Because change is always our reaction to a bad course, a bad situation, a bad life.

So we make a change. Any change. We pick, we choose, and we feel better because we've done something instead of nothing.

As if going straight ahead is doing nothing.

As if turning right or left is making a change that just has to be better because it's a change.

As if it takes no courage to continue on, to keep moving down the path that we've been traveling.

The alternative?

Continue on the same path while making changes along the way.

Because we're born this way. Because we don't get to start over. Because turning right or left isn't a real change. Because a change in direction doesn't change us.
