...then you die.

I think that will bug me the most in 5 years will be same, the debate on determinism; determinism gets to me in the way where I have to ban myself from thinking about it. The illusion of control over my life will probably forever have me questioning it, but it also begs more questions too, like, is it then wrong to judge people based on the lifestyles they live? Say a heroin addict or those really obnoxiously obese people - was Hitler really just a guy who got a bad shake at life? - Who's to say - I vote yes. It would make me feel better about my entire life, albeit in the kind of way that requires me to give up all the freedom I thought I had. But no, sadly I'm too masochistic to ever be able to accept something like that; I know denial isn't just a river in Egypt, but, again, who's to say, life's a beach then you die. I choose to accept what's most beneficial for me because it's true that perception IS reality. Or do I?
