Family Guy brought up an interesting point in one of its episodes yesterday. I believe it was Brian (but spare the fault of my memory if I am wrong) who said something along the lines of:
"People are constantly waiting for another voice to tell them what
to do."
It was an interesting statement, mostly because there was truth in it. Successful life stories find themselves speaking of a voice as their backbone.
Story plots employ the very notion as well:
A young (at heart) misguided being is advised by a more superior
conscience to go on a journey in virtue of the pursuit of something greater
for the betterment of self.
conscience to go on a journey in virtue of the pursuit of something greater
for the betterment of self.
It is quite a general statement. But I've found that if you break down
most stories to their core, you can find the generalized idea.

As novel's and story's plots mirror reality, life too may as well follow the same pattern. Our success in life is controlled by voice. It might be our own, prompted by inspiration or revelation. It might take another to guide us and (maybe) successive time for it to marinate and grow until it sounds reasonable. But why do we wait for a voiced prompting, even if it is our own? We do so many things on impulse - so why not take advantage in order to better our lives instead of waiting on an ok?
