..because i want have to.

in everyone's life, we go through anxiety periods where your heart beat races and your stomach starts to become an equivalent to a foreign object in your body; your hands may turn cold despite the weather and your thoughts are so random you. proper. sentences. cannot. make.

why do we allow ourselves to go through such things? i cannot seem to give an appropriate answer. the only reason i can come up with that allows no argument is because we have to.

for example..
because we have to do the exam and pass to graduate.
because we have to go through the interview to get the job to pay the bills

you thinking of a because you have to moment yet?

heh.

it seems that no matter how old you get or how wise you think you've become, some things have no reason or rationale and someone is simply gonna tell you...

Just do it.
because you have to.

hehe Nike sure left out the realistic cold hard truth of "because we have to"...

anyway yeah some of the "because we have to" moments are so darn nerve wrecking and all that jazz. But I sometimes try to make it better by changing my stubborn mindset to something like "because I want to" and sometimes it works.

sometimes... heheh better than none right? So give it a shot... because you need to... muahahhaa.

Actually, you don't have to. Ok.. this is what I learned in my Philosophy class. We all have free will right? so we can choose to do something or not to do it but because we have free will we also deal with the consequences. You don't have to go to that job interview, but if you want to have a roof over your head etc, then you will have to choose to get a job.. so you have to deal with the anxiety of an interview. I don't have to do an exam, but if I choose not to, then I fail and don't graduate.

So really, you never HAVE to do anything except make choices.
