“Danny left the store, confident that he may have found a way to tilt this day a little more straighter standing, into something that didn’t so much resemble Pisa’s monument. Tracks of fate had begun to run a little too perpendicular with him today, rather than the parallel direction they usually run. He was realizing that parallel wasn’t so bad, no, in fact, he kind of missed it. Mostly, though, he just wanted some coffee.
With each step, he felt as though a stony weight lifted off his chest. It had been there all morning, that heaviness, like an invisible albatross, a cartoon cinder block holding him down. He hadn’t realized the true size of it until, all at once, it dropped away, disappearing into the day without even a sound. Just a breath. His chest expanded as he took in as much air as he could hold, feeling good. Decisions were always cathartic, no matter their size.”

“Bad Decisions

In the face of the duality of the world, line starkly drawn
The good follow the decree, the bad frowned upon
The rules and desires lived side by side
Who was truly free, and who was straught bide?

In the decisions you make, your path unfolds
Either stradled by the norm, or the scowl of the desires
Living in denial is the perpetual rite
Was the darkness first, or was it the light?

In life, the weight of the bad decisions are akin to levy
They are the simile to the stigma of the society
But ponder, had Fleming not left his lab in disarray,
Would we have the Penicillin and its astounding fay?
Would the harry potter's tales be as elusive
Had Rowling's work not cast aside, intrusive?

The abysmal decisions are the callus to the fractures
The trump card in its dreadful adventures
They aren't the woeful stories or substance
But, a paving tale in the life's grand scheme of nuance”

“Like her granddaughter, Clotilde wielded considerable influence. When her sons — heirs to the Merovingian dynasty — were deciding whether to overthrow the young heirs of Burgundy and take their lands under their control, they placed their decision in their mother's hands. They sent her a pair of scissors and a sword, with the following instructions: if she felt they should peacefully back down she should choose the scissors and cut off their long hair, which represented their royal power. If she felt they should assert their power, she should choose the sword. She famously replied, 'It is better for me to see them dead rather than shorn.'
Clotilde was true to her name. She chose the sword. This decision brought about the murder of two young princes, aged seven and ten, killed by Clotilde's older sons on their mother's instructions. But she remained 'honoured by all' and celebrated for her humility and grace. [...]”
