Direction (or, Directionless)

This is cheating a little: I haven't re-read Lewis Carroll in a while. However, this snippet seemed appropriate, given the general questions about life direction that have been percolating through my head:

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.

"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire Cat.

"I don't know," Alice answered.

"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't really matter."
