Choice and Consequence

Posted March 23rd, 2009 by Aaron Johnson in Reflection

 A Factual Tale:

I was flipping through channels on the television in the common room of my dormitory.  BET was playing The Matrix: Revolutions, and I stopped to watch for a moment or so.  Not having time to appreciate the entire film at this juncture, I moved to turn it off after the Oracle's line:  "Now since the real test for any choice is having to make the same choice again knowing full well what it might cost, I guess I feel pretty good about the choice.  Because here I am, at it again, helping you."  As I moved toward the television my wandering eyes happened upon a discarded white fortune cookie scroll.  I picked it up.  It read: "Life is a series of choices.  Today yours are good ones."

Wow that's amazing, Aaron.

Reminded me of 'Ubik', a story by Science Fiction author Phillip K. Dick. You ever heard about it? If not, you can check him out on my latest blog post, Towards a canon of Sci-Fi literature. I included a few links that provide information about this guy. Check it out if you like.
