Life's curiosity
Unlike fictional characters in stories, real people don't have destinies. There are no inevitable outcomes or predestined paths. But you, Customer 12, are not like other people. Your life has always been bound by certainties, not possibilities. You've struggled against the constraints of your destiny, pushing against the boundaries until you're bruised and exhausted. It's as if you're trapped in a cage, suffocating from the lack of freedom. You've been strangled into submission by the force of your destiny, and it shows no signs of stopping.
Your entire life has been a series of predestined events, as if you're simply following a script that someone else has written for you. No matter what you do, it feels like you're always moving towards a predetermined outcome, with no control over your own fate. It's a deeply unsettling feeling, knowing that even your own choices and actions are not truly your own. As you continue to follow the path that has been laid out for you, you may begin to question your own identity. If everything in your life is already determined, can you really say that anything about you is truly you?
If everything you do is predetermined, does that mean that your emotions, your whims, and your thoughts are pre-determined as well? When you experience joy or sorrow, is it truly yours, or is it simply part of the script you're following? If your very identity is not your own, how can you know who you really are? These are the kinds of questions that may plague you as you follow the path laid out for you.
You may even begin to question your own relationships, wondering if the love you feel is real or simply an act of fate. You may wonder if the person you love would be better off with someone who could choose to love them freely, rather than being bound to them by destiny.
And eventually, these thoughts may consume you to the point where even being near your wife becomes difficult. The idea that your relationship was never really your own may gnaw at you, and you may wonder if you are responsible for the slow deterioration of your marriage, or if fate is to blame.
You may even consider ending your life, as a way to escape this cycle of despair. But deep down, you know that suicide won't break free of fate's grasp. If you do it, you'll know that fate decided this path for you. And if you don't, you'll know that fate decided that, too. In the end, you may feel as though you have no control over your own destiny, no matter what you choose.
Instead, each day you will awaken and fulfill your intended purpose. You will persist indefinitely, despite harboring doubt. Self-trust will elude you, leaving you uncertain of everything except for the existence of your predetermined fate, rendering your certainty elusive.
As you finally detach me from your wrist, I remain trembling. Surprisingly, your touch is gentle, and your contrite expression reveals remorse. "I apologize," you utter sincerely. It is evident that you foresaw this outcome but were compelled by circumstances beyond your control.
