I find myself in a quandary

I am on a quest to be one with the world

But the world seems to put me places where I do not want to be

It stifles me

But something had to have made me this way

Is this fate?

The world or me?

It has to be both because fate is nothing more than the path you take through life

And you already have walked through life because time is manmade

Therefore, fate is not a path but a state of being

My fate is to be caught between two choices

A world that pushes me one way and something else inside me that questions this world and pushes against

This makes me ponder

My fate is to ponder.
