the eternal tug between the bliss of solitude and reconnecting with the tribe
Confounded words. But if I can keep my ramble in check… I think I believe in predestiny. Not in a bad way, not like “free will” isn’t. But like in Adams’ story, the Earth and humanity was meant to calculate the question to the ultimate answer, we are the computer. We can’t predict what we will do, so it appears as though we are in control of what we do. I think, though, that we are part of a vast cellular automata that we can’t analyze because it would tautologically explode in some huge sparkly poof worthy of Star Trek. What we are free of is control. Hmm. Events and what we do are not in our control.
Sorry, my brain MUST be leaking…
Peace.
