Sometimes I have to do something. There is no way in hell to not do it. It can be a stupid litte thing, but from time to time, usually when I do not want to do that thing, I see the invisible chains that bind me. They are values, priorities, aversions, a feeling of responsibility, the result of a pro-contra evaluation. That sort of thing. They steer me clearly and the action is not optional.

There’s another kind of thing. It appears to me as invisible walls. They come in two varieties.

Variety one is a limitation, something I cannot do. There’s data missing, I don’t have the manual. The options then are: Abort and learn, or just abort, because it’s no use.

Another kind of invisible wall is that there’s a direction that seems like it’s walkable, but it’s not entirely clear if there is something there. Maybe this is about potential. Is there a mountain to climb? If there is, I cannot see it. It’s transparent. I might be at the base of it or further up. Or maybe already on top. Impossible to decide. Perhaps there is no mountain. Instead it’s just a feeling that there might be one.

It’s a little frustrating.
