Re: Do we define our circumstances, or do circumstances define us?
The most important questions don't have any answers at all. That
is why they are called "important questions". If they were that easy, nobody would still be asking them. The ones with the simple answers aren't questions at all. That's why the answers were so simple.
If you already know all the answers, its because they're the ones you wanted to hear. But as long as you're still asking questions, instead of conning yourself into thinking you've got it all sorted out, as long as you realize you don't know for sure, you at least have a fighting chance of getting it right.
It's all right to be confused, but over-confidence will kill you.
Any questions, grasshopper? Koan my way?
