But if we could escape our nature, wouldn't what we escape to become our nature?
That was my attempt to be a proper growed up, but now in just more stumped.
I do like being succinct, but some answers to questions only bring more buts and what ifs that make my head ouch!
So ill stick with my first answer, but can i phone a friend or take 50/50 please? 😃

a very clever philosophical work. truly zen, the answer is a contradiction, yet there is hidden truth. we cannot exape our nature, and that has been proven by me over and over again. yet we are also able to change ourselves in some incredible ways. that is also true and something i've beent rying lately. we'll see how that goes.

Thanks EM! I appreciate your take :)

Sometime the answers aren’t clear. We must find our own answers and we must decided to change our own nature ourselves and that can only be answered with time and dedication to wanting to be different
