groundhog day

I had not seen this wonderful XKCD back in the day. It is great. Especially this part:


The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I’m sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live in trapped loops, reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out ahead of us.

We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last, every moment smoothly following the gentle
curves of societal norms. We act like if we just get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us.
