Would you rather be a klutz or a control freak?

Post by Rathark »

I'm asking this question because it really boils down to a matter of choice, and that the two "extremes" are actually very closely related. It's all about compensating. For example, if I do something clumsy (such as apparently scratching the back of someones side mirror with my case zipper while walking past), I spend the next 3 days psychoanalysing every footstep. If I forget something, I draw stars on the back of my hand the next time. Which is worse, the excess or absence of caution?

Excess cautions turns you into a twitchy hulk of your former self.

Abscence of caution will get you killed.

Take your pick, I guess.

Control freak, though I'm neither in reality.
