Either/Or

Choice.

Seems so important at the time. Did you wonder if any of it will matter at the end?

Søren Kierkegaard's Either/Or, "A" says that whatever you choose, you'll end up regretting it either way. Either/Or. Should life be lived on impulse, whatever makes you happy at the moment, or does one commit, with only one purpose in mind, to become oneself, which is what "B" believes. Does becoming oneself supposedly make you a better person, rather than running around like a jolly fool?

Would I be so bad as to say that I agree with "A"? Is choosing happiness over identity, wrong? Or perhaps that is my identity, in which I commit no wrong at all.

To avoid making a choice, is a choice in itself.

Dominus illuminatio mea

The University of Oxford which our Biomedicine group
visited on the long study tour in London! 


It's like floating down a river, led down an unknown path, an unknown destination, held up by nothing but your own peace of mind, for you know, panic will only drown you.

I like this scenic path, whatever the destination may be.
