How do you feel about your compulsions drawing you towards some kind of destined outcome?
I know there are certain things I find it difficult to resist, like data collection, for example. Writing is another one. I can't go a day without expressing myself in type. Given that these is somewhat of a compulsion, I don't like that they can "get me."
For me this has the potential to draw me into a time sink. The number of people telling me I should get into academia kind of makes me sad, because I don't respect academia, but it's possible that I might need to dip a leg in at some point.
I am very wary of the things I find it difficult to resist, but sometimes I wonder why I'm resisting so much, and these things do seem to be in some way tied to a destiny I've pre-shaped with all the decisions I've ever made.
How much free will do you think we have in working with our INTP compulsions over the longer term?
des·tined /ˈdestind/ Adjective
(of a person's future) Developing as though according to a plan.
Certain to meet (a particular fate).
* No, this doesn't need to include any kind of spiritual belief.
