There seldom is a single wave. Another way to look at it is, 'when it rains, it pours.' Good luck or bad luck often followed by more of the same. Whatever path you begin, it's almost impossible to change your direction. You're sent hurtling through space, crashing through experiences decided by the first few decisions you ever made. Binary choices set against something as simple as a yes or no in your earliest stages of development. As a Future Child, that would be your primitive choices in Genus. Actions, friendships, whether to smile in one moment or frown in the next. Those are all paths that, once set upon, are entirely unchangeable. At least, that's what I was designed to think.

About This Quote

The idea that you can't change the past is a popular notion in our culture today. Many people believe that you can't ever take back a bad decision, or start over in life. This is a common idea in our culture and it's not true. It's true that you can't change what has already happened, but it's also possible to change aspects of your future. You don't have to let the past dictate your future.
