what are choices? - there are no answers

Why do I like 24? Jack Bauer 24.

Strong characters who flaw, who make mistakes, who screw up big time, who lose things that matter to them, who work hard to straighten things up, who at times live in denial... who make a difference at the end of the day. I wanna be like them.

Is it an excuse for wanting to try? For curiousity? For living life to the fullest? For wanting to be different? Is that wrong?

Newton's 3rd law - for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. You cannot expect respect and recognition for every major decision made. It's that simple. You cannot guarantee risks. Is it so hard to understand? You made a choice, and you have to live with it. There's no getting away; cos you want to be different.

How different is that then, from people who commit crimes; to people threading on insanity and suicide? Well the most obvious difference I could think of, is that one involves wanting to get hurt and inflict pain; and other... not to that great an extent.

Arrgghh... move on
