    That clash between instinct and understanding is at the center of the human condition.

Amen to this. Maybe you're the same way, maybe you're not, but I am constantly at odds with myself on opinions, courses of actions, what I want from life and myself. It's a struggle to define that.

I'd say reading Heinlein is still productive, it's not like you were sitting around doing absolutely nothing. I care about getting a future, but the problem is finding something I want to do for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. That's terrifying, isn't it? Not sure if you've encountered this, but I've met so many people who just work their job for the paycheck and hate getting up for work in the morning. That seems like a terrible existence.

Cards win tonight?
