I'm actually working on a project today so I don't have the time to put together a thoughtful blog.  But, I saw this quote and it made a lot of sense and I wish more people would take this into consideration.

To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.
  - GK Chesterton

It is often surprising how numbers dictate what you do in your life. For instance, age, very often you hear the phrase, "Act your age." What does this mean? Who decided how a person is supposed to act at a certain age? I even catch myself saying an activity is "age appropriate." Bah, I'm in my forties now. How am I suppose to act? I'm not a mother, I take college classes, I'm married and I work for the government. Right there are very distinct groups of people and each of use get a mental picture of how old each may be. Interesting.

To continue with the question I posed yesterday, I'm going to throw in a real thought provoker.

Most, if not all, have heard of the potential for genetic testing for certain cancers or diseases (like breast cancer) that may be genetically inherited.  Knowing that even though a positive test result does not mean that the individual will actually develop the cancer or disease, only that they are predisposed.
