question of the day #4 and #5 - 04-03-02

do you have any tattoos?

no. and i am now past the age where i'm likely to get one. i credit this to my indecision and distraction. i would say i'm glad i don't have a tattoo, because maybe now i would regret what i had placed on my body ten or more years ago, but that's not necessarily true. perhaps i would be a different person now, and whatever symbol i had chosen then (if chosen well) would've acted as some sort of guidepost. perhaps i would somehow be a more complete person, a more consonant person.

how come habits are so hard to break?

habits are the very fabric of who we are. without our habits we are, literally, nothing. we cling to our habits to the exact extent that we fear our own annihilation.
