i have discovered that life is a river. it will inevitably flow toward the ocean, but for some people the river is very wide and choices can take one a good deal to the left or right. and for some people the river is very narrow, perhaps only a skinny stream. but regradless of the power an privilege a person thinks they have, they can not actually choose their destination.

ummmm?..... yes. you can always decide which way to face even if not which way to go.

we have heard stories of uneducated hill tribe women/girls being taken from there villages and trafficed to bangkok (or malaysia) for the sex trade. they often don't even no the name of their village, let alone where to find it on a map, let alone what north or south mean. i guess their river is very narrow because they don't have options.
