It’s a choice that affects who we marry, what we do, where we live, and how we dream, yet few of us ever think about it — do you accept the world as handed to you, or seek to change it?
What's around us seems pretty permanent — streets and stores, doctors and dancers and decorators, buses and books and biscuits and bank accounts, misery and mirth and mystery and mischief and murder. It's a big, messy, complicated universe, and the easiest thing, the obvious, practical, pragmatic thing, is to fit in. Go to school. Make friends. Listen to your parents. Fall in love. Get a job. Make more friends. Fall out of love. Buy a car. Fall in love again. Move. Rent a place. Get married. Get promoted. Have a kid. Buy another car. Have another kid. Mortgage a house. And so on.
