The great roller-coaster of life continues. Here you are in your carriage ascending ever-greater heights and then hurtling towards even more terrifying lows, those twists and turns that lead you to fear that at any moment, you might part company with the track. Yet is this all not just the thrill of the fair? It doesn't seem that way, especially when it has started to make you feel sick with tension and apprehension. Life has been particularly ridiculous lately. Now, at long last, comes a phase during which you feel able to enjoy your ride. We do so many things because we feel that they are expected of us. We wear particular clothes. We speak in particular ways. We mind our manners. Some of this comes from the way we are taught to behave as children and some of it is hard-wired. No wonder the world is full of people who hardly even know how to think about what they want for themselves because they are so caught up in what they think that others think they should be doing. Don't let such considerations adversely affect a key choice.
