Do you remember how your parents taught you to not be rude? No, yet when you have children of your own you seem to remember the word as if you have read them in a book. You see, life is an Autocue and it is your part to read it first time as if everything that is happening around you is breaking news. No man knows his destiny and no man can decide it, no matter how hard he might try. In 'The Terminator', Kyle Reese tells Sarah Connor that 'There is no Fate but what we make for ourselves' when in reality our life is a complex road that has many directions in which we could travel yet we always seem to choose the same direction every time. We could walk that street every day for the rest of our lives and each time we would always end up in the same place at the end of it.
Do you ever remember making the actual decision that you will actually do that particular thing? Do you ever remember when you decided that you would fall in love? Do you ever remember deciding that you were straight or gay, or whether you were white or black, or whether you were British or American? Do you remember choosing anything about who you really are today? I'll let you in on a little secret, you never did. You do not choose anything about anything... Shit just seems to fall in place.
I remain,
Dr. James T. Hinckleton
