Mostly we don't take turn-offs. We're turned off by them, the abruptness, the decisions required. Mostly we just keep driving along veering a bit left or a bit right as the road forks. That's mostly all it does- fork. One branch always has the sign MORE and the other LESS. Sometimes we take a whole lot of MORE forks and end up stressed, confused, wondering how we got here. Then we take a few LESS forks and it feels right, maybe a bit empty though. So soon we are tempted back by that lovely MORE sign. How did we get here? MORE or LESS on autopilot I'd say.
