Kismet, Fate, Chance, What the Fuck

I can't be the only person in the world that has thoughts of what could have been compared to what is.

Is it just the fact of getting older that causes one to go back and try to analyze all the different paths one could have taken. I think a lot about lack of formal education but then compare that to so called enlightened people and find a decided lack in grace and understanding on their part.

Probably my biggest compliant with education is how specialized it has become you have walking talking geniuses in a specific discipline who end up being a total social adolescent. Everyone stays with what they know (or have been told they know) and don't bother to find answers on their own. Or at least if they don't find answers find better questions.
Forgive the digression I'm new to this.

In the Beginning

Everything has to start somewhere doesn't it? Or has it always been there waiting to be found?
