can we live without a plan?

i have heard that life is improvisation, and i used to agree with that whole-heartedly, but recently, i have been wondering if that is as true as i thought it once was.for as i see it, we live towards something. we all do. it might be towards leaving a legancy on earth for social norms or the pleasure of the moment but we all live with some direction, if not in mind, then in our subconscious.

chaos might be fair - everyone getting the same chances, but is it equitable? but that begs the question of every individual's equality. which, if i even try to question that, i will get people jumping down my throat. what would you rather have - equality in chaos or randomly assigned social and economic status - both are pretty chaotic, but we were all born to parents that we did not choose.

i do not want to place an over emphasis on our positions in life being directed by what randomly-assigned parents we have, but it does play a factor. but so do our choices.

are people inherently good? or are people inherently evil? what if we are inherently chaotic? that would bring equality in a sense. what if we are nothing more than what our choices make us? neither good nor evil, but just people. the sum of our choices, yet greater than that. what if our choices emerge us into something good or evil, but we choose - everyday by what we choose to do, say, think.

i am not saying that people do not make mistakes, but you can be a good person with a few of those. i hope. what do you think?
