…..theoretically, this could be accomplished—–but life is not a theory. Hypothetically, this may happen—–but life is not a hypothesis. Conjecturally, this is possible—–but life is not a conjecture. Life is not to be lived in a test tube with possibilities bubbling to the surface every other second, yet with one’s lone reaction to this smorgasbord of possibilities amounting to nothing more than mental games. No, life itself is right HERE and right NOW—a dynamic, gyrating, flesh-and-blood-and-guts entity demanding immediate action. Overanalyzing life totally misses the point; lives are meant to be spontaneous and lived on the run, not architected and examined on some bland whiteboard in a squeaky-clean office as the prelude to extensive rehearsals beforehand. You can’t live a life like that, but you sure as Hell can die as a result of overplanning and overanalyzing in the long run. Oh, and by the way, there is no long run in nature; death happens randomly, unexpectedly, instantaneously and it is the great ruiner of the most elaborate, well-conceived plans. The future, when all is said and done, is nothing more than a highly seductive mirage. Anyone who argues otherwise possesses an IQ that wouldn’t even register on the Richter Scale…..
