Apathy isnt the word I would use to describe it.

More like deep introspection.

How so?

Nah, it is normal, actually. We are constantly reaching crossroads in life. We are constantly making choices. Some perhaps are more pivotal than others, some may be harder to make than others. It isn't strange to stop and sort of make an inventory of what has happened until a point and wonder if we made the correct choice on a given situation. After taking stock that way, we either feel like we did the correct thing or feel like we didn't. I don't see how that can be apathy setting in. However, you know yourself better than I do. Only you can ultimately say.

We only believe that we know ourselves better. Well, in some cases that happens, in others, 'tis the flipside. Humans are butterflies.

Because I feel like even if I made a bad choice, or what seemed to be now, the following choices made it not significant. Like it were on purpose that I made choices to counteract bad choices.

Sometimes we're faced with that choice too, Senyosu. Sometimes we make choices to counter bad steps we've taken. I see it as introspection, like Soldati said.

Thats what usually happens though. We always try to find an equilibrium. Your thinking backwards and looking at possibilities helps you move forward with better knowledge about yourself as well as learning lessons.

Sometimes we're faced with that choice too, Senyosu. Sometimes we make choices to counter bad steps we've taken. I see it as introspection, like Soldati said.

I see. Maybe it's just me coming to terms with my own words of 'leave it be, look forward, and do what you can to do better'

If I continue like this, I may become one of those old wise men living in the mountains.

Sen, at times, that's all we can do. Leave it be, look forward and move on.

The reason why I say it is a sign of maturity is that children do not weigh these things in. Although they also make choices, albeit more often than not, these choices are forced upon them by parents and family.

It all depends on what you consider your equilibrium, or the natural balance of things.

If you grow up around drama then drama is natural for you, peace being unnatural and viceversa.

Figured as such. I think this adds on to my assumption that while extremes look appealing at first, the human subconcious usually ends up trying to find a center ground or a neutral standing. Maybe this due to biology? A soul like figure? I think our biological components simply cannot withstand being pushed to the extremes.

Or being pushed to the extremes as a norm. Extremism in the sense of breaking with norms is desirable at times. That's why people get wasted with booze, IMO. We need the release. We crave to be out of control and yet, we also crave to be in control. You know, polar opposites become us, and that's ok.

Well children are children. The parent can be overly permissive, or completely hovering upon their backs. And that could contribute how fast they mature.

Then again, my parents left me to my own devices since entering high school. That's quite the leap of faith... I must say for a parent to do such a thing.
