Futures can and do change, something as simple as you're supposed to turn right down a street one day... In your bones u know it, and yet for reasons no one understands, you decide to debunk fate and go left. Now instead of meeting your spouse of your dreams and having a house full of kids, you get flattened by an ice-cream truck and spend the next 5 years in physical therapy recovering from the injuries; or worse you die from it. And all cause you exercised free will and turned the opposite way on a whim. ↗

We can fly! “We can become butterflies! “There’s nothing at the top and it doesn’t matter!” As he heard his own message he realized how he had misread the instinct to get high. To get to the “top” he must fly, not climb. ↗

At such a time it seems natural and good to me to ask myself these questions. What do I believe in? What must I fight for and what must I fight against? ↗

I shake my head. I can't imagine living the way he does-always keeping track of who gave me what and what I should give them in return, incapable of love or loyalty or forgiveness, a one-eyed man with a knife in hand, looking fr someone else's eye to poke out. That isn't life. It's some paler version of life. I wonder where he learned if from. p. 395 ↗
