“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them”

George Bernard Shaw

Who am I to argue with GBS
But I think I still believe in circumstances.
How many people on death row
convicted on circumstantial evidence.


The more I think about this:
"The mind sees only what it loooks for, and it looks only for what it has in mind."
The less it means.

something about seeing things as a metaphor,?
Maybe.
