I am confronted with this question each and every day I wake up...as is everyone really, when I think about it. What *should* I do? It's quite a different question than "What *could* I do?" For one, it's a bit more specific. I think most people tend to automatically revert to the latter question of "What could I do?" more often than not...just because it's a lot more simple to ask, really. And a lot more simple to answer as well. What could I do? The sky is the limit on that one. You could decide to stay in bed and sleep the day away...or you could venture off out into the world, doing completely different things at random, making it up as you go. You could call up a friend you hadn't seen in a long time, try to make plans to see them finally. You could put in a movie and veg out, idly passing the time away and enjoy doing so. You could decide to be extremely (and perhaps uncharacteristically) proactive, silently keeping a pledge you'd made to yourself long ago to simply practice your "craft", passion, of some sort, whether that be writing, painting, drawing, playing an instrument, and so on...you could hold on to some paralyzing, maybe even unexplainable mental block or emotional setback that has somehow or another gotten a hold of you and you're not quite sure what to do with it, so you hold onto it and let it fester and consume you until you boil over or breakdown...I guess the point is, the question of "What could I do?" seems to have limitless possibilities, whereas the question "What should I do?" really does not. This question adheres to a limited number of options, pertaining to what it is in reference to specifically, or on an even deeper level, what (if any) core value or belief system you may adhere to that lays out a specific context of what you should do in relation to it. In this respect, there are many varying possibilities that could lay a foundation to this question as well. You might devote your life to the Christian faith, and wake up with that question either consciously or subconsciously put forth in your mind as to what you *should* do that day...some people may have already tried to plan it out far in advance, and already know well ahead of time what their day should (and necessarily will) hold. Others may just live from moment to moment, only loosely (or perhaps not at all) creating some sort of vague structure as to what the day's events will hold. Ultimately, it seems that no matter who you are or what category of "planning" you may fall under, it all ends of being a sort of learning process from day to day, month to month, year to year...you learn as you go, no matter how stringently you try to plan something, how meticulously you may try to adhere to a specific "dogma" or structure. We all fall short of...well, it could be the Glory of God, or the ideal potential of man...the point is, we all ultimately fall short, in some way or another, and at some point.
