Goals are deceptive. The unaimed arrow never misses.

Do you want to know a common reason why people are afraid of going near a cliff? Because they feel a compulsion to jump off. Some basic instinct is telling them to jump, while the cognitive part of their brain is going NO NO DON'T YOU F---ING DARE! It freaks some people out.

Dad has this and I have experienced it, too. Many people who are scared of heights are afraid of heights because of some compulsion wired into the human brain and whenever they are near a cliff their compulsion to jump and their desire to not die is at war, and they are afraid that at any time, their compulsion could win out.

To me, this is proof that human beings were supposed to fly.
