negative chase
rework
Are we just running toward a certain future, a result of the cascading events of the past. The path we follow, determined by the pavement before us, installed by past hands unseen?
This is actually helping me ideate more for that fictional story I want to write around the concept of free will, choice, and agency. Thanks.
However, while the past dictates the present, it needn't dictate the future. We can make different choices. Be different, by doing different.
Choice is terrifying, paralysing to some people. Different choice suggests that that there's an expected outcome, and that there can be an unexpected outcome, as someone manipulates their environment in a way that would not be typical. For instance: opening the milk at the supermarket and pouring it over the apples.
