Ruminations on steps

Filed Under Experiences, Opinion | 2 Comments

Anybody ever worried about steps? Anybody ever thought about how a foot is placed before the other, and then the other before it? I have finished one phase of my life and taking the next step, putting the other foot in front of the present one, seems to be a bigger deal than I ever thought. OK, lets break it down. I think identifying the feet is more important than the steps, at least you can’t take a step if you dont have feet. For me things appear to be a little clearer than they may be to you reader. For one, the feet are mine so perhaps I don’t need to identify them, but with time I will spell them out to you so that you can have an insight into the situation I am trying so very much to present to you. Back to steps.

Do steps ever take themselves? Or are people supposed to take steps? This question is very improtant if we are to understand what to do with steps, especially when it has to do with decisions. Ah ah… you guessed right, I am supposed to take a decision very soon, a decision that could affect the train of events in my life. But wait, what decision does not affect the train of events? I read somewhere sometime ago, in a sci-fi novel - cant remember which, but if I do I’ll let you know - that there is the possibility of the existence of a multiplicity of parallel worlds, that each of the decisions we make, each of the steps we take, sparks off a train of events. But that is not all, each of the possible steps we could have taken were actually taken, and they have gone on to start off different trains of events, although in different, parallel worlds. The argument is that if we could concieve time travel not as travel across time, but across space, space meaning parallel worlds, then perhaps we would be tackling the important issue. However, this has not answered the question of travel itself. Enough of drifting, let’s get back to the issue at hand. … anyway, either I take the step or not the train of events are going to be affected. It is making sure that the effect is positive that motivates the desire to take a positive step.

Why dont I leave it off here? Sure; I’ll get back to it pretty soon.
