i choose to differ.

i have arriven at the conclusion that one's social life is severely underrated by many, especially those with a strong sense of responsibility.  i would like to hereby challenge them by proposing that it is a responsibility in itself, and an important one.  that is a key way through which things of immaterial importance happen.

fight or flee or free

there comes a point where there is nothing else that you can do that is useful.

and later there comes a point where introspection stops being productive and helpful.  it just starts festering.

and later there comes a point where trying to evade both becomes ineffective, if not impossible.

when you can't fight, and you can't untangle, and you can't run, that's when you have no choice but to surrender.  but then again, maybe that was always the point anyway.
