Arranging my Cirucumstances

I was initially drawn to this work by John Cage for one blatant reason: he spoke of a young Japanese and I happen to be one myself. But I stuck with it because I was tickled by the thought of someone arranging their own circumstances to get somewhere, because for as long as I recall, it's usually our circumstances that arrange us and not vice-versa, like this story implies. Refreshingly the story ends (at least it did for me) by convincing you that their alternative ideas about you controlling your circumstances is "more fun" and then ending quickly by taking you back to your initial convictions- that you circumstances probably inspire swifter action than your own convictions.
