It's come to my attention that for at least the last 2 and 1/2 years I've been incredibly inward looking (that is, internally focused), trying to find answers to questions (outside myself) that can't really be answered by anyone but myself. Worst of all I've done nothing but contemplate the potential consequences of these potential actions, and left most of the decisions that directly affected me to the passage of time. Sartre would have considered this non-decision a decision, which it clearly is. But can I be blamed for the events that happened to me, even though I never directly acted on my preferences and chose one way or the other? Obviously, yes. Shedding responsibility only leads to frustration and disappointment with one self. So today, I intend to begin focusing the energy I am able to produce towards everything except my own selfish indecisions.
