Saturday capacity versus will

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?


-Sun Tzu


Mark's take on it

I've always found capacities and abilities to be double edged things. Just because one is good at something, that doesn't mean they will or should do it. Like for instance, I *can* make people's lives hell with the technology I work on, but I will not do it because it isn't right. I know what I can do to women, but I will not do it, just because I love Ida. I can take revenge on everyone who has ever wronged me, but I won't since it doesn't make me a better man. 

True story.
