On opportunities

Everything in life is a matter of opportunity - which, by definition, implies a considerable degree of randomness. Yesterday you might not even consider doing something - but today, a little thing has changed, and suddenly you glimpse what could be changed, and how. Even if you had no intention whatsoever to do it - suddenly you've got an opportunity to do so, and regardless of what you'll do in the end, you won't be able to help thinking about it, you'll mull over it, you'll consider what good could it bring, what cost would it imply, whether it would be fair or not. You'll be helpless on this matter: you have no other choice to go through all the "what if" and "maybe" what will doubtlessly surface.
