Broken Pencils

  We cannot change the past. We can not change the fact that people act a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. If someone doesn't stand for anything, then they will fall for anything.

I move to the side but I am sucked up into the wind of dust and now driving the leading car, and as the race finishes I am now out in the theater again.  I turn on a couple more movies and the same thing happens where the camera is pointing is where I end up.
