Turning point

Life : at least a subject that everybody can talk about as a specialist. We all have our stories, good and bad, our memories, sad and laughable. We all even have life changing moments of real decisions impacting drastically the next course of events. No I am not talking about weddings or new jobs per se, I’m talking about those decisions that not yet have been taken, or, taken the opposite way or in another, which would lead to a very different outcome.

I can already hear the gamers of the world smiling, as this is one of the things really missing in the gaming world today, even if some games are gradually including this above mentioned decision making with more success (AKA Walking Dead), than others (Mass Effect 3). Depending on how seriously you look at life, I’m sure you can spot 4 or 5 turns of events in your life that changed everything and took you to a different route from the one you were walking at.


I rarely regret my past actions but sometimes I wonder what had become of myself if I had taken the blue pill. Then I smile and reassure myself of that I took the right decision - by not taking it. Similar changes may not have been options but more impositions, like a war for example. Most of the persons impacted by one were not eager to get into it. And you? How many of those moments did you have? How many times could you have been someone else? Are you still happy about where you are now? No?


Then it may be a good time to change that, don’t you think?
