Eros Vs. Thanatos

So I finally did it. I actually made a connection between school and reality. Today in psychology we read an article about doubts. Surprisingly, it was interesting. In a nut shell, Alice Miller talked about how people take a path in life, a path that they judge to be the most adventageous to themselves at the time. However, often times people tend to doubt their decision somewhere along the line. Basically, what she was saying was that whatever caused that doubt, as small as it may be, could actually be a sign of regret, and consequently the path you would have been better off taking. The second I read that it just hit me that it really applies to my life and where I am right now. Its weird to think about the different directions you're life could have taken. The part that really stuck to me though was about those subtle, sometimes even subconscious, second guesses about where you are today. I always thought those were just a part of life, a way to keep in check with yourself. But what she was saying actually made sense. anytime you do that, youre not just questioning your decisions, youre actually recognizing the possible need for change. Now lately Ive been a big fan of "if it works to your benefit, and if it makes you happy at the time, then go with it," but it really made me think about the mistakes i might have made. Maybe I should be somewhere completely different right now. Maybe I should re-evaluate a few things. Maybe the fact that Ive thought about some things really does mean that I want some things. Maybe I dont want to want what I might actually want. But with that being said, who the hell is Alice Miller anyway?
