Along our journey in life, we can choose the path that is put in front of us. The alternative is to take a path and then begin to dig a new path in a different direction. Taking the path that is laid out before us is the least risky, the safe alternative. It is a path largely directed by those before us, not by the individual.

There Will be Blood
I spent over 10 years working in the Oil and Gas industry. It is common knowledge that this industry is much maligned for being run and employed by selfish capitalists that will stop at nothing to rape the planet for financial reward. Some of this commentary is fair, but it misses the larger point. You find executives and staff with this mentality everywhere in today’s capitalist society. This self-interest just isn’t measured the same way in every industry or it isn’t as transparent.
