Is it better to be depressed than it is to be stupid?
Does one know to do the right thing?
How does one know what the right thing is?
Engineers can make solving difficult problems appear easy.
It is the easy problems which have difficult solutions.
Act: know and respond.

Statistically Speaking
Quick decisions (left, straight, or right) made by fleeing motorists at four successive intersections may put the distant pursuer at a low probability (1/(3*3*3*3) or about .01 chance) for seizing the hunted BUT trigger-happy longshots have been known to kill 1% of the hotdogs 100'% of the time.
It's a good day to get busted.

"The whole point is that the drive to incorporate technology must not deny basic human rights. When it does we cease to be relevant. If what cannot be disproven is given the appearance of truth then all will suffer."

Roll over Beethoven
Many of you know (though most don't) that I returned to school so I could answer the question, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" After 25+ years of being an engineer I decided "an engineer" was no longer a viable answer. I am pursuing "become a math teacher so I can teach Algebra to high school students" as the correct answer.
This shift in emphasis necessarily includes change. For example, I doubt that I can return to Tuesday night choir rehearsals in the forseeable future. Adaptation of scheduling is accompanied by hearing loss (I do have an appointment with an ENT Doctor).
I hope everyone understands. We are all challenged. (In particular I am challenged with developing an understanding of math after a 30 year hiatus from being a full-time student.)

Correction! (i.e. Think Outside The Box)
To become a better engineer I had to let go of strict adherance to mathematical certainty. In other words, "Get out of my comfort zone." That worked fine for the first 25 years after graduation.
To become a better caregiver I had to accept responsibility for giving increased care and to show more concern for loved ones; this increased my empathy.
To become more balanced and in order to develop physical coordination skills, I had to adopt a rigid regimen of right-brained activities, thus improving my stamina.
To become a better person I had to open a window in my soul. By practicing expository writing I am merely finding a way to express what you all surely must be thinking already. Does it need to be said? In many cases, "Yes...if we're going to act upon it."
