Mystery at its finest
Life is often just a bunch of 1's and 0's. Pick one or the other. We understand that. I think that its even pleasing. We like it when life makes sense. When we make a good choice and the result is therefore good.
Often times we are able to make the same choice over and over. That kind of repitition can also produce a good feeling. Like we've been there before, a deja vu for our decision making.
Its nothing new to say that life throws curveballs. But we have a hard time dealing with (and not just in our own life), situations where we don't feel a person was allowed to make that selection. Where the choice was "made for them".
Many choose to shy away from those stories. And they are heavy. But I've always been fascinated by them. Torture doled out to an unwanting people. Death just handed to a young man who had so much to live for. Heroism falling upon the unexpecting one. Love and Loss. Mystery at its finest.
It is the best and worst in life. I'm not even sure which kind of book I'd rather read. A story of a man who man good and bad decisions. Or the story of a man who now has to choose how he will react when faced with a tremendous new reality. I'm pretty sure we're all living the latter.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
