Who would you choose?

Who do we trust? Who can we depend on? How do we decide out of those that depend on us are more important. Can we?

I struggle with an overt sense of  responcibility. It's something i really must work on. Of course me knowing this is really only the result of others telling me so. I really have no clue as how to accurately measure just how responsible someone should be or is. 

For a lifetime I have been told how something has gone wrong, why it has gone wrong and been presented with a list of all my mistakes or small steps in which I could (never a definite here!) change the matter. Or could have changed it (I don't own a timemachine, unfortunately). 

So, knowing the butterfly effect and how simple and insignificant the flap of a butterflies wing can create a hurricane, please forgive me for assuming we are all equally as important and effective in the overal scheme of things. Whether our importance lies in favour of the good or the bad, well I suppose that's down to personal belief, fate, destiny, that kind of thing. 

I don't believe people are inherently lucky or unlucky. In fact I don't really believe in luck. I fall in a catogory just to the left of fate. I have no preconceived notion that there is a well laid path ahead of us that we can't defer from. We are free spirits -!: free minds. Yes, programming is the same and the hardware and software are similar in design and manufacturing. Who among us uses a computer the exact same way as their neighbour though? Aren't we all given the exact same manual? Don't we all follow the instructions? Okay, even I'm guilty of skipping through to the good bits and really only skim through whenever something goes wrong. 

Isn't that beautiful though? 

For all intents and purposes that machine that was built to the exact specifications as its neighbour and is loaded with indent oval information has just started its own unique journey. Where does fate come into play there? Well, fate has some elements of what I call truth. I believe that if we mess something up then it is only rational that we are likely to see consequences in our future. Isn't that was fate says? Or is it karma? Well, as I assume you've worked out, I'm not very well versed in any of it.

That's kind of the beauty of it all. 

We are all programmed with different stuff . From the moment we spark into existence we make our own choices and decisions, forge our own paths. Okay, so we aren't all born alike or into the same circumstances. The point is still valid though. Shed your clothing and scrape away your skin. What is beneath is a body similar if not identical in design to your neighbours. Argue that health affects this image and I'll argue back the Human Factory. old Bob is still messing up and wiring something up wrong. Adding too much of this and too little of that. 

Human error. It's absolutely beautiful.

The Human Factory

Now back to what I was struggling over before Jac and Miles got all philosophical. 

Choosing who is more important. How do we choose? How can we choose? 

Is it all dragged back to the terrible delemia of Sophie's choose? But even she was dealing with a choice that had rational, if not very difficult, outcomes. What if your dealing with well, identical models. Completely uncorupted identical models.

Fresh off the converyor belt and still has that new smell. You haven't even had a chance to remove the plastic wrap yet. Then its decision time. Choose. Which Is more worthy, more deserving of your time, your energy, your love, life. 

You can see the future and you know that time changes everything and everything is unique. The one you choose today may break down tomorrow. What then? How were you to know? Equally the one you choose could last a lifetime, longer.

How do we decide? 

I don't think I'll ever be able to answer this for myself.
