At least, you seem to know what you're doing, and why.

Your choices are your own, and haven't been imposed on you without your knowledge or consent.

Unlike you, I haven't thought it all the way through yet.

Isn't it a hoot? I was initially attracted to the Zone because I felt it would expose me to what was happening now, everything that was new and wonderful about our brave new world. Instead, I seem to have wandered into an old folks home, limbo, the waiting room.

I am torn between two mutually exclusive alternatives. I have been allowed access to a wonderland which could immeasurably enrich what's left of my life, one which I'm too lazy or short-sighted to embrace--or--I'm being sold a bill of goods, an easy way out, a fantasy land populated by clueless zombies: either the opening of the doors of perception or an opioid escape.

Like I said, I haven't thought it all the way through yet.
