We live life in the fast lane, trading our privacy for a false sense of social interaction. We maintain online personas that mask our true identities, projecting our idea of a perfect life onto the virtual world, hoping it, in return, would rain accolades upon us. Dubiety lurks in the shadows, visitng us in our dreams, feeds off of our fears and struggles. Latching unshakeably onto our consciousness, dubiety carves its way into our very heart, corrupting, destroying. Carpe diem, you'd often hear from the fools who live in the now, and the blind who possess neither a future, nor a past worth recalling. Dubiety, the not knowing, the uncertainty, the fear of failure, the lack of guarantees. Leap of faith? Perhaps such leap is what we all need. I know it's what I do.
