simple Choices

Mass market entertainment penetrating my brain:

I really dig Madonna. Maybe you don’t and thats cool, we all open ourselves up to different things which in turn may open new doors, close others, burn bridges. They are simple choices but they define the future. What makes my head hurt is wondering about how many of those choices already have answers.

I’m not talking about fate, I do not believe in fate. What I do believe is that as more choices are made you are programming yourself, soon the choices are not so much your own as they are paths you follow. As you grow older you make fewer and fewer new choices. When do you stop making new choices? That day maybe the day you are locked into a world of predictability. Is your mind closed at that point? Or can you make a choice to have an open mind? Would that be the day you lost all your creativity? I guess I won’t know until the future is the past and I can reflect on these words again.
