Drawing you into the future

[cyrano]

Today I thought of what it would be like if things kept going the way they are now, more or less until I have run the course of my days.

Because I like you, I'll tell you a secret: There are no straight lines.

Sometimes there are curved bits with rather large radii, but those are rarer than most suppose. The observation I have of myself is that the reduction in radius of curvature is often quite visible before I reach it, but I don't believe it because I'm thinking in straight lines. Maybe that's my engineering education, but I suspect it's a tendency of the Western Mind. I blame Descartes.

PS Or, of course, the turn isn't in the direction I want.
