So I am a week away from finding out my LSAT score and so making the voluntary, or perhaps not so voluntary decision of determining where the energies of the next few years of my life will be directed. This is a perfect time to be reading Thoreau's Walden Pond and asking myself if I really am a sucker for expending myself for the empire while I could be reading books, writing, and working in nature. What is it that drives me, what portion of my ambition is the seemingly noble pursuit of maximizing all that is within for the sake of my neighbor, and what portion of it is the desire for significance in society? Search me and know me.
