Theresa's Journal

 Humans are free, but some facets of our lives are determined. I realize a duality is a quality that describe many things in life. Wildly cliched/simplistic, it's true, but many things could be described, at least at first glance, as being of masculinity and femininity, bright and dark, positive and negative would describe for one the initial look of any complex situation, mysteries in life, such as love, life, personality, development. This also applies to human endeavors; whatever new venture, a joyful beginning of a relationship, a project, they always include a potential for failure as well as for great fulfilment. Humans do have a choice, but not in determining the quality of adventures they encounter, but in making decisions that guide their action. In how to make use of the opportunities. In my life right now I strongly feel this. I am trying to be diplomatic, with events and life's uncertainties and blah, as I review my own long term plans.

Here's another example of such a duality. With age comes "wisdom." There is a hint of irony, too, because the wisdom they talk about in this article is mostly applied to the faculties of learning in one's brain.
