Anything But Gray

When you look around at the people you know…how many of their lives are effected by other people's choices?
Decisions, be it good ones or bad ones, that other people make.
That they have no control over.

How do you stop that and control your own destiny? Truly control your own destiny…
Do you just be alone? Live your life in a little one room shack and not care about anyone?
Because that's the problem.
These people you know, they are effected by decisions that people they love make.
And from the outside looking in, you can lecture and lecture and stand on your soapbox and proclaim.
You're destiny is what you make it.

Well, I'm here to tell you folks.
That's bullshit.
And it's not as easy as that, it's simply not as black and white as that.

We are all effected by choices the people we love make.
and the only way to have true control over every aspect of your life is to not love anyone.
To put yourself in a position where no one's choices effect your life in any way.
It sounds like a lonely, meaningless life.
But at least you are in control and when bad things happen. When life gets feeling like it's just too much,
you'd have no one to blame but yourself.

I guess to what extent these people effect you, could be controlled.
But not if you love with all your heart and soul….
Not if you love with all your heart and soul.

And it's not all bad. People make good choices too that effect your life and bring about good, wonderful things…

It's just funny sometimes how destiny is regarded and then you really sit and think about it and it's all intermingled.
No one's destiny is truly just theirs. Is it?
Maybe the real question isn't about making your own destiny but more about how you deal with the destiny that is before you.

See?
Tricky.
