But
one
night
,
while
reading
lectures
by
the
philosopher
Charles
Peirce
,
James
decided
to
conduct
a
little
experiment
.
In
his
diary
,
he
wrote
that
he
would
spend
one
year
believing
that
he
was
100
percent
responsible
for
everything
that
occurred
in
his
life
,
no
matter
what
.
During
this
period
,
he
would
do
everything
in
his
power
to
change
his
circumstances
,
no
matter
the
likelihood
of
failure
.
If
nothing
improved
in
that
year
,
then
it
would
be
apparent
that
he
was
truly
powerless
to
the
circumstances
around
him
,
and
then
he
would
take
his
own
life
.
The
punch
line
?
William
James
went
on
to
become
the
father
of
American
psychology
.
His
work
has
been
translated
into
a
bazillion
languages
,
and
he
’
s
regarded
as
one
of
the
most
influential
intellectuals
/
philosophers
/
psychologists
of
his
generation
.
He
would
go
on
to
teach
at
Harvard
and
would
tour
much
of
the
United
States
and
Europe
giving
lectures
.
He
would
marry
and
have
five
children
(
one
of
whom
,
Henry
,
would
become
a
famous
biographer
and
win
a
Pulitzer
Prize
)
.
James
would
later
refer
to
his
little
experiment
as
his
“
rebirth
,
”
and
would
credit
it
with
everything
that
he
later
accomplished
in
his
life
.
There
is
a
simple
realization
from
which
all
personal
improvement
and
growth
emerges
.
This
is
the
realization
that
we
,
individually
,
are
responsible
for
everything
in
our
lives
,
no
matter
the
external
circumstances
.
We
don
’
t
always
control
what
happens
to
us
.
But
we
always
control
how
we
interpret
what
happens
to
us
,
as
well
as
how
we
respond
.
Whether
we
consciously
recognize
it
or
not
,
we
are
always
responsible
for
our
experiences
.
It
’
s
impossible
not
to
be
.
Choosing
to
not
consciously
interpret
events
in
our
lives
is
still
an
interpretation
of
the
events
of
our
lives
.
Choosing
to
not
respond
to
the
events
in
our
lives
is
still
a
response
to
the
events
in
our
lives
.
Even
if
you
get
run
over
by
a
clown
car
and
pissed
on
by
a
busload
of
schoolchildren
,
it
’
s
still
your
responsibility
to
interpret
the
meaning
of
the
event
and
choose
a
response
.
Whether
we
like
it
or
not
,
we
are
always
taking
an
active
role
in
what
’
s
occurring
to
and
within
us
.
We
are
always
interpreting
the
meaning
of
every
moment
and
every
occurrence
.
We
are
always
choosing
the
values
by
which
we
live
and
the
metrics
by
which
we
measure
everything
that
happens
to
us
.
Often
the
same
event
can
be
good
or
bad
,
depending
on
the
metric
we
choose
to
use
.
The
point
is
,
we
are
always
choosing
,
whether
we
recognize
it
or
not
.
Always
.
It
comes
back
to
how
,
in
reality
,
there
is
no
such
thing
as
not
giving
a
single
fuck
.
It
’
s
impossible
.
We
must
all
give
a
fuck
about
something
.
To
not
give
a
fuck
about
anything
is
still
to
give
a
fuck
about
something
.
