The Garden of Forking Paths

[mousme]

I need to get myself a copy of Borges' short stories. I want to re-read them.


I have too many disparate plans in my head. They all seem like good ideas, but I have to pick one and run with it. I can't do ten Important Life-Changing Things (TM) with my life. I can only do one, if I want to do it well.

Ever have this sneaking suspicion that your life is meaningless? I have that suspicion every waking moment these days. I'm doing very little that I consider worthwhile. What I do consider worthwhile, right now, has been relegated to the status of hobbies. I'm not doing anything meaningful, just existing day to day.

I'm going to curtail this post before it starts to wallow. This is the Ongoing Campaign To Avoid Excessive Introspection, but a little introspection never hurt.

Life has only the meaning you give it.

Any task undertaken consciously is a worthwhile task.

a little introspection never hurt ...

.... train spikes through the eyeballs and into the brain, THAT hurts!

I have a really good book about how to pick which Important Life-Changing Thing to do. It's called (appropriately, I think) 'First Things First'. I found it very useful, and you're very welcome to borrow it any time.

I would like to borrow that, actually. I shall lend you Rider at the Gate at the same time.
