Time To Go Back To School? I Wish!
Today I finished reading a book:  Omeros, by Derek Walcott

I look at all prompts as open-ended.  If I didn't look at them as open-ended I might feel like someone was telling me what to do.  I believe rules are made to be broken.  It is human nature to look for an alternative.  Computers are programmed, people choose.  Robots follow the path of rules, and laws - I, and other human minds think for ourselves.  Of course this philosophy has caused me some problems in this life,  maybe because all of the 'others' are robots, I'm not sure.  Maybe it's because I have refused to obey the "Laws of Nature", but in my opinion if something was REALLY a 'Natural Law' I wouldn't be able to break it.

Of course I can never do what I am told to do.  This has made it impossible for me to work for an employer as an employee.  I was never lucky enough to find someone who would employ me to do whatever I wanted to do.  I was always able to do quite well working for myself and telling other people what to do, until a made a terrible mistake one day.  I decided to become a doctor!  So, after easily graduating from Medical School at the age of 52, I started residency in a large hospital.  Horrors - I discovered I would have to do what I was told for three years until I could be on my own.  So I quit!
