3. Interesting philosophical question: can you actually change your life
"now"?

Whichever way you decide to act is a singular choice that, in itself, entails change from the previous state. So, in essence, at every infinitesimal time period in your life, you are, in fact, changing it.

11. What could go on forever? Your life?
Some would argue against that and say that the day you start pushing up daisies is it.

Others would call that afterlife, or anti-life, but that would'nt answer the question, either.

Yet others would say that this does, in fact, go on forever albeit in different manifestations of "life".

Me, I'm happy eating Doritos and watching the Seahawks this weekend.

16. Squatch Lives!
"that would'nt answer the question, either."

Who asked you a question? Listen, and learn dude, back on the rest.. you like to eat and feel good. Like no other person does. Hell, we don't like to fucking LIVE. Quit making decisions for the rest of the Universe...it doesn't really care about yours, yet you seem to want to take control of ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Yet others would say that this does, in fact, go on forever albeit in different manifestations of "life".

Me, I'm happy eating Doritos and watching the Seahawks this weekend.

19. I agree with you.
I have always compared life to a road map(I'm sure the idea came from someone else in my earlier years) and every decision you have to make is at least a fork in the road you are presently on. Simple decisions = just a fork, complex decisions = a traffic circle with many exits, etc...

No decision is too small to have consequences. Think Butterfly Effect or Chaos Theory.

I would be more likely to ask if you can not change your life.

22. Yes but I'm comfortable and set in my ways

(I couldn't resist - I'm sorry)

Actually, I do believe in getting up every morning and making a change - even a little one.
