Quoth the Page man : Evermore!

This is an easy one : a quote I try to live by: "Nothing ever goes as planned" -- Styx, song of same title You can make all the plans you want, try to cover every expected outcome and something will always happen to throw a wrench into it. You may still achieve the original goal, but it will probably not happen the way you wanted it to. Life is chaos. With some providence and effort, you can impose some amount of control on the chaos of your own life. You can't really maintain the closed system of yourself without going way off the grid. It's ok, though. I don't think humans are meant to be solitary creatures. Some people actually seem to enjoy the spontaneity of interacting with other people. Like, you open your door and find a bottle of your favorite juice, or you get back to your desk at work and someone has left you a chocolate and a note of appreciation. These are better than waking up, bleary-eyed, and stepping in cat vomit.
